1,8 Channel Master, Black Pro LNB with CM feedhorn for 28 E which is my main interest when watching TV. VU+ DUO 4K SE, VU+ DUO 2, Octagon SF8008 and Vantage 8000 S and TS receivers. Fixed dishes at: 42 E (0,75 m), 28,2/28,5 E (1,8 m), 19,2 E (1,5 m), 13 E (1,1 m), 9 E (0,7 m), 5 E (1,2 m) and 1 W (0,7 m).

I can't really understand the system always (and only?) used on 28 degrees East to publish new/moving senders with only the SID showing. Often for quite some time.
Wild Earth for example has shown "51118" a long time now.
On 13 and 19 degrees East, 0,8 West for example the sender shows the name of the channel from start if new or just switching frequency which is much better and easier.
The German channels are not only very generous showing a bunch of good channels free over a large area but also very good when switching frequency or adding new channels. They simple add the words "old" and "new" to the station name when a switch is planned. No silly "SID" for weeks. Way to go Germany!
Does anyone know the reason for the "system" used at 28 East?

I thought I was seeing things earlier but I've seen it again so its not just me going mad:D

On BBC One Channel Islands HD (10310) 60 seconds before Channel Islands News goes live the picture switches from HD to SD upscaled to HD.

I haven't noticed this yet on the other BBC One HD's.

Here's the list of regions that won't have their news in HD. I'd expect it to be a few years before the newsrooms cameras get upgraded to HD.

East
East Midlands
West
South East
Channel Islands
West Midlands
Yorkshire
Yorks & Lincs

Kind of "explains" why there's been no recent mention (that I've noticed) of any SD->HD changes on the BBC London Channel (our current Channel 101) on SKY - seems they can't yet figure out their asses from their elbows!:rolleyes:

On 10847 V BBC One South East is on with SID 6931.

This would mean all channels on 10803 H are allocated on other transponders if I'm right.

What will 10803 be used for?

On 12422 these are showing only SID:
6415 = BBC Scotland
6416 = BBC Alba Gael
6427 = BBC One ?
6446 = BBC Alba English
6431, 6432, 6435, 6438, 6440, 6440, 6483, 6488 and 6490 = Radios (which I won't specify).

6312 on 10773 H is BBC Two HD (don't know which region) NOT BBC News. Updated my previous message on this matter.

Possibly the Northern Ireland one that’s been on a non-BBC transponder since it launched.

W = CH50355

I can add W to this transponder a normal scan leaves the W on this channel,
If I scan with Renew Channel data it wipes out the W & CH50355 returns.
