apart from the normal joke about PMT whats it stand for in satellite terms

Program Map Table

Radio 4 Long Wave (A contradiction in terms!): Old 11954 New 10778.

give me half a hour to a hour to update it and check old frequency

 

[andrewcrawford]

currently 11953

 

[Lazarus]

currently 11953

There's probably no hurry for BSkyB to "get with the programme" (So to speak) as 11954 isn't due to close for another two weeks.

But I am surprised Freesat were prompt this time after being slow to update after the first phase last week.

We will know when the sky epgs are remapped - there will be a flurry of disgruntled Cypriot expats posting across the forums.

 

[Lazarus]

I predict it will happen on Wed which is the 31st and the final day before DSAT7 closes. It is in the hands of Sky now as other operators (VM and FS) have migrated over to the new Txp's. Sky Integration generally don't like old SID's remaining on previous transponders after EPG moves so some agreement has obviously been reached with the BBC and Sky to do their platform move at the last minute as to ensure the 11954H radio services remain until the Txp closes. The only time I've seen Sky retain services on old transponders they don't label the SID's and keep them 'live' for a couple of days, this means receivers can't see them but existing tuned receivers should be able to pick them up. This has been done for the benefit of cable headends who downlink and remux the services for their own platform.

yes it is a bit weird plus quite embarrassing for me because i told everyone the 15/10 ...also it is the starting gun here for the ´´dont panic ´´ brigade
as it could be the end of their PSB viewing on satellite .i have a guess they will do it today (monday) as it gives them another two days to sort out any problem ..but time will tell ...

 

[Lazarus]

@TENERIFE-TV: Can you keep an eye on it and let us know exactly when the BSkyB EPG is remapped? (My own BSkyB box is relaxing on the spares bench, for lack of a good home).

It could happen today but as the beeb openly said they won't close DSAT7 until the 31st I reckon they'll do it all on Wed. I told my relatives in Lanzorote that they'll loose reception on the 15th too which didn't look too good as it's still working but hey-ho! I guess they'll realise by end of play on Wed when they all disappear.
