Thought Id start this incase theres any feeds being in Italy.. Doubtful but you never know!

Theres already some muxes on 13e but they are all BISS 2 so not viewable sadly.

13e

No specific infos here, but I suspect that every Olympic feeds will be in NS4 in addition to BISS2 (as it was for Paris 2024). So, sadly no way.

Thats my guess also, but there were the odd ad hoc feed for Paris in 4:2:2 normal BISS so we'll see.

I see that ZDF is also showing the games and I am wondering if they will have some dedicated channels. Do you have any ideas?

If there were going to be any dedicated satellite channels they would almost certainly have been on air by now. Add on "pop up" channels are much more likely to be online these days than carried on satellite.

Evening, as confirmed my our MCR, Winter Olympic games are strictly Multicast,Unicast, sattelite is just dirty backup

I just saw that Rai 2 and Rai Sport are scrambled and do not open with my Tivudat Merlin card. Bad news.

All the footage on Hungarian TV (9E) has the message on rights displayed as of yesterday.

... and do not open with my Tivudat Merlin card.

RAI sport is FTA here ATM, RAI2 is scrambled but opens normally with Tivusat Tiger card.

 

[Bamboccio]

Yes all good now.
Strangely both Rai Sport and Rai 2 had no video around 9 this morning then both were showing as scrambled and not opening with a tiger card but both came back after (not sure exactly when but before 11).

16e

10982 V 4800
10988 V 4800

4:2:0 BISS

Not sure how permanent these are

 

[mapperuo]

They just went off mid way through the Figure skating so not 24/7 anyway

EDIT: Actually no, they have just moved frequencies to 11006 and 11012

 

[Bamboccio]

By the way ZDF yesterday showed a few events.

 

[mapperuo]

16e feeds are certainly a permanent thing which is nice, back on 10982 & 10988, They flip between sports so must be a backup path for Poland I assume based on the channel name.
