Can someone with a HDTV box scan 10847V and see if there is a second BBC HD transmission there?

Ive just pulled down a new test tagged as "6945" which appears to be a copy of the BBC HD service at the moment. The pids appear to be the same, although it doesnt have any epg info on it unlike BBC HD.

(My Technomate puts the HDTV transmission in the radio section and sets up the audio and programme pids, although it doesnt like the video pids and sets them at zero....:D)

Hi

You're right.

I've just scanned 10847V, and there is a channel, "6945", that is showing the same program that BBC HD is transmitting, but with no EPG.

It is also in HD (1080i)

I officially claim a good find :-rofl2

Are we expecting BBC HD2?
 
Yes, it's the 'Muzzy' HD English language course channel probably :-rofl2

I did a scan the other day using Dvbviewer and the second channel is showing the same as the 1st BBC HD preview channel less the dolby digital audio channel.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Just so I know what is the format of the 1st channel, 720p? Since the second channel is quoted as 1080i.....

Are all the sky HD channels 720p?

Thanks,

Stvy
 
No all European HD stations are 1080i and nothing else.
 
Why would BBC HD launch a second channel when the first hardly can fill 3 hours of programming a night?
