No signs of any testing yet - there a test label on 11343V but theres nothing on it. Chances are the kids channel will be scrambled but we will have to wait and see.

i know this has nothing to do with this post but how do you know all this info analogue are you a secret sat spy or something?

 

[Analoguesat]

I could tell you - but then Id have to kill you

 

[snurgenator]

hmmmmmmmm i see its one of those need to know basis....kill me haha thats a good one!

 

[Analoguesat]

Seriously - theres no secret to it - I just read a lot of forums and web sites, and pick a lot of tips up off them. I also keep a careful eye on the new Ofcom licences that are issued.

A lot of the new Asian channel info comes off the Biz Asia website, i distill the info into interesting chunks and post it here. Theres also a very active group of a couple of dozen of us on the Digital Spy forum which chases down the new tests as they appear and try to identify them. (Its about the only good feature of DS these days )

hmm must check that out thanks bro! i still think your a sat spy haha u got my respect!!!

Hi this has more than likely been answered b4 but has the Sky EPG been shuffled around cause im sure ive seen film 4 and zone horror up in the 100's slots?

 

[Analoguesat]

Whilst there are a number of mini shuffles going on at the moment to remove gaps in the sequence where services have closed the channels you mention are all still in the 3xx number series.

 

[Zorba]

Yes they did it again.They moved some down and some up.
I noticed some FTA channels like truemovies 1& 2moved from 323/324 to 321/322 and Chart show tv from 355 to 365,to name a few.
Like I posted once before its annoying because when I install a FTA set up I usually make a note for the customer of the available FTA channels with their EPG numbers(then they usually print them off).Some are only here on holiday and every time they arrive the channels have moved about.

 

[Analoguesat]

The 4 section shuffles took place as expected this morning (music movies news & specialist)

Included in this was this:

SBO Events moved from 755 to 743
SBO Audio Described is still on 744
SBO timeshares are now 745 - 751
SBO HD1 is now 752
SBO HD2 is now 753
