Astra 1N chat - January 2012

According to joinfreesat The Freesat C5 postcodes have now been remapped to their correct regions on 1N away from the single 2D version.

Most happened last week, presumably the one remaining encrypted region (until yesterday) migrated over today.

Not for my region, still on 2D. ITV West, dont know which that is for CH5 and 4

The channel he is talking about is C5 region 2. Nothing to do with ITV or C4.

 

[DragonSat]

I know, but my C5 is still no signal, so still on 2D. The ITV point was to show what region I am

Your system details show $ly+ box - this remapping is about Freesat. Having said that i think that $ly are reported to have already remapped their pointer - I don't run any of Rupert's boxes any more so not entirely sure.

Not yet. This morning region 2 on a Digibox was still pointing at 2D.

Thanks Huevos, that clears that up then.

That knackers C5 SD for our Cypriot expats in that case....

 

[Zorba]

Yay no more big brother. It went off in the afternoon and i had 3 phone calls immediately. Neighbours must have been on at the time.
No point trying to sell HD boxes though,since 5HD must surely be next (before CH4,ITV etc etc).
Time to buy a big truck and a season ticket to the scrap metal yard.

 

[Pietclock]

yep, channel 5 has been removed from the BBC 10773H 2D transponder:

View attachment 46492

The capacity however has not yet been assigned to the remaining BBC channels, but is broadcast as null bytes. Let's hope they will do that to improve SD picture quality.

C5 was much stronger when it was on 12422H.

Not here it wasnt - 1N is about the most powerful bird in the European arc

I was replying to the Spain post. Here 1N is nowhere near as strong as 2A/B.
