Channel 4 on 2D

[BLUEPLATINUM]

I can confirm that with my Sly box, I can tune in the C4 from 10714H (in Cyprus). But the pictures are pretty pixalated. This is strange since the ITV regions which used to come from this frquency were pretty near damn perfect all the time! Maybe C4 are uplinking on a lower power?

Everyone is reporting the blocking even people in the UK. They are still testing... looks like they still have some work to do!

Although I rigged up a spectrum meter this morning and monitored 10.714H and found the signal measurements to be satisfactory

 

[Llew]

The only vpid that seems to be active in my chart is the CH4 test one, 2323.
All other active ones are teletext on 9211 and various info pids. The null packet is constant at nearly 30%.

They're obviously still testing. I did have all channels clear earlier.

I believe they are all labeled correctly now and "ready to go".

Can someone confirm what they are labeled as. More importantly do they include any of the C4 plus one (+1) channels.

Cheers Guys

I checked last night again.
I can confirm in Cyprus, I can get all the regions of C4 on 10714H. There were also 3 other Tps active - one shwing a black screen, one showing coloured bars test screen and the last showing the live BB feed

Forget lyngsat, flysat is a much better site.

How is that?

It looks like the footprints on Flysat are taken directly from the sat ops webpages, which are far from the actual foot prints...

 

[dxsat]

Flysat has been the most accurate for the past year or two. Lyngsat is often quoted as the place to go for satellite info but has frequently had inaccurate listings, as has KingofSat.

 

[satelliteman]

...............although the footprint maps are identical

Just to throw a spanner in the works, channels with a lower FEC(i.e 2/3 as oppossed to say 5/6 are easier to receive) hence the new ITV . I found a good dish alignment tool from the spanish satellite dealer "www.diesl.com" go to acimut and tool allows you to pick satellites and location etc and get a needed dish size/guessed power level.

 

[satelliteman]

Of course, there is more error correction applied to 2/3 than say 5/6.

The required Carrier/Noise Ratio (C/N) for 2/3 is 10dB and 13dB for 5/6

I've lost Channel 4 on my SkyHD box EPG - Channel 4 HD still working and Channel 4 +1 still working.

Apparently not all regions have been switched to 2D yet - but it looks like mine has.

 

[woborny]

there are no more C4's left on 12186V, where they have been for a few years - they have all gone to 10714H

C4+1 is still on 12480V

C4HD is still on 11798H

Key words here are "AT THE MOMENT!"

 

[Analoguesat]

Yup confirmed - the 9xxx labels have been renamed "Channel4" so presumably the SAky epg is now mapped across to 2D

 

[iceman]

there are no more C4's left on 12186V, where they have been for a few years - they have all gone to 10714H

According to my signal meter 12168 is still there but skybox says "No satellite signal is being received"

 

[trigger]

They are still there labelled as 99xx etc but hidden from a sly box

C4+1 is on 12480V 27.5 2/3 (ch135)

 

[woborny]

there is "C4L Test 1" still on there but all main C4s have moved....
