New channels and changes to BBC Freesat

[Analoguesat]

803 - Pitch TV
804 - Pitch World

have been removed on August 28th - The Pitchworld operation has gone bankrupt...

Pitch & Pitch World have been added back to the same epg numbers - presumably someone has bought the channels..

A couple of changes I missed as I was away in the beautiful city of Rome:

October 13th

Speedauctiontv launched onto 814

Ideal World moved 816 - 812

Updates on November 16th:

135 Zone Romantica rebranded to 135 CBS Drama
136 Zone Reality rebranded to CBS Reality
137 Zone Thriller rebranded to CBS Action

Also an adult content folder was added which shows that freesat will soon be carrying the fta slapper-on-a-sofa premium rate phone call channels that infest the upper reaches of the Sky epg.

Another Freesat chanel will disappear in the next few weeks - 9XM is ceasing operations in the UK and has sold its epg slot to Indian entertainment channel Colors However Colors is to launch into either the Viewasia or the Zee pay tv service, and will thus be unavailable to Freesat.

New on 24th January - 692 Genesis TV

It lasted nearly eight seconds on my EPG - the exact amount of time it took me to delete it after the "Freesat Tune".

 

[Analoguesat]

CNBC will launch onto epg 210 on Tuesday 23rd February

 

[Analoguesat]

CNBC has been added to epg 210 today.

 

[Analoguesat]

IPlayer functionality should be added to Technisat HD boxes on March 16th.

There are also rumours thatat least some of the Harvard HD boxes (Grundig, Bush, Goodmans) will have iplayer at about the same time.

Sagems HD boxes are "coming soon"

 

[Lazarus]

Ah good.

And when will my Asymmetric Digital Snail Like broadband be upgraded to the point where I can contemplate using iPlayer?

The day the devil skates to work

ITV1 Central S and ITV1 Central E have been discontinued on Freesat - the EPGs have been reallocated to other postcodes/regions.

This is because the channels have been moved off Astra 2D onto the widebeam on Astra 2B south and have thererfore had to be encrypted.

To make space for the ITV 1 HD Channel, presumably?

 

[Analoguesat]

I would guess so yes.
