No more channels on Astra2 11053 H

[mickwig]

Hi, for a few days now I have not been able to receive the ITV channels on 11053 H. I get good SQ readings (50% and higher) but when I search for programmes, none can be found across all my receivers. All other channels on Horizontal Low are working as far as I can tell. Have I got a technical problem with my setup or have all the channels moved elsewhere? Please help!

Yes, 11053 H has no programmes now.
The ITV HD channels you had on 11053 H are also on 11097 V 23000 2/3 8PSK.

STV HD and UTV HD have moved to 11068 V 23000 2/3 8PSK

Do you happen to know where they have moved to. ITV1 Central, Wales+1 etc.?

10.832 H 22.000 5/6

ITV (Central South)
ITV+1 (Wales)
ITV+1 (Westcountry)

10.994 H 22.000 5/6

ITV+1 (Tyne Tees)
ITV (Central East)

Have I got a technical problem with my setup

Also wondered if my lnb or something had failed. Mystery explained :O)

Always be ready for this kind of annoying 'musical chairs' at any time without any warning.

Its a pain in the neck and tends to happen when you forgot the last round of channel changes and think your gear is going wrong.

Transponder active. No channels ATM. More ITV HD regions coming?

DVB-S2 8PSK 11053 H 23000 2/3

Id guess they will move the ITV 2 3 4 HD & whatever other minor HD dross is currently being transmitted onto their own tp to save hiring costs.

We are into the Christmas epg freeze period so no epg changes, frequency remaps etc should be allowed until early January.

Any chance of ITV 2 3 4 HD going FTA and be added to the Freesat line-up?

Most unlikely. They were started up with a lot of help from Sky to offset the cost, and specifically as an additional source of revenue from the Sky payments now that advertising isnt bringing enough money in.

Not in the foreseeable future,

We have Adam Crozier to thank for ITV HD channels being encrypted as it was initially his idea

Not in the foreseeable future

So our afternoon dose of Jeremy Kyle is not going to be enhanced by the full HD experience unless we pay?

 

[Analoguesat]

Never say never, but personally I think its unlikely any time soon.
