OK - So BBC1HD, BBC-HD and ITV1HD are not S2 ? Just C4HD

:(

Petrev: Yes, that's right. The BBC will be moving to DVB-S2 shortly.

Hi, I have been searching for CH4 HD on my Freesat Passion+ for ages and have tried everything that is on this blog but to no avail. Can someone point me in the right direction. I have no Eurobird 1 on my channel list and nothing is in the 28.5E range apart from Astra 28.2 but then the settings are not the same so am totally lost as to how to get this new HD channel. Can anyone help please??

Briantist: I see Channel 4HD will be moving to Astra 1N when it finally becomes operational at 28.2 degrees East.
David

Will Freesat take care of that for me?
Or will I get messed up again and have to do a Factory reset again?
Briantist
Thursday 13 October 2011 2:32PM
NottsUK: I understand this to be the case, but as ever I guess we will only see when it happens.

Briantist: This is from the SES web site posted on the 4th October 2011. "The new capacity on ASTRA 1N will be used to transmit Channel 4's main high-definition (HD) service together with further HD services over the coming years".
Briantist
Thursday 13 October 2011 7:12PM
NottsUK: Yes, I saw that, I just meant that actual dates when services move tend not to get much announcement.

ITV1 and 2 and Channel 4 and 5 no signal but all other channels ok I have reinstalled all services 3 times now but still no joy Help ! I can see winter hill from my house but their site says no problems ??

Briantist: Channel 4 HD is now transmitting on Astra 1N, 11127, V, DVB-S2, 8PSK, 22000, 2/3.
Briantist

NottsUK: I'm getting a carrier but no services on 11127.

Briantist: My Freesat receiver will not pick it up on the "other channels" option, while a generic receiver needs all the ID information, whereas my blind scan receiver picks it up with no problem.
Briantist
Friday 28 October 2011 8:37AM
NottsUK: This box I have requires all the information to be input. I'm sure you're right, I think the box won't "add" channels already on the "Freesat" list.
NottsUK
Friday 28 October 2011 8:43AM
Briantist: The ID information is,
SID 21200
VPID 2305
APID 2307 or 2306 (AC3)
PMT 256
PCR 2305.
I hope this helps.

CH4 HD is to me a lot better picture and I would say now the best quaulity HD picture of them all.
Briantist
Thursday 8 December 2011 11:13AM
David: There should be no difference in the picture quality for each channel as they all use the same bandwidth on Freeview HD.
David
Thursday 8 December 2011 12:16PM
Sorry Brian I did not say that I'm on Freesat in post sorry for missing that out, as we are in the present posts talking satellite Ch4.
I have no experience of Freeview HD only SD on that.
So what you think of Ch4 on Freesat do you think it same as other Freesat HD or better?
Briantist
Friday 9 December 2011 2:55PM
David: I have to say on my Freesat set-up there is no difference in the quality between BBC One HD, BBC HD and Channel 4 HD, as long as actual HD content is being shown.
David
Friday 9 December 2011 3:15PM
Thanks Brian I was also informed the bandwidth on the new satellite CH 4 use has more than the other HD stations, have you the figures for that?

I have been watching Channel 4 HD for several months using Freesat and I have much enjoyed it. However, about a month ago the signal stopped and I can no longer get either sound or picture. Could you please explain to me why this may be?
David
Monday 12 December 2011 9:18AM
They changed satellite and transmission data, will a rescan fix it?

We live in S.Wales using Freeview and am really disappointed to find that Channel 4 HD is not available and we have to put up with the Welsh language S4C in HD instead on Channel 53. How can this be fair? Making the majority suffer for the sake of a tiny minority. I would be very interested to know how many watch this Channel in Wales and how much it costs the licence and tax payer!
Dave Lindsay
Thursday 12 July 2012 11:06PM
Martin: It does not cost the Licence anything because the Licence goes to the BBC.

If you are in an area where you can receive from one of the English transmitters, such as across the Severn Estuary, then you may be able to pick up Channel 4 HD.

it was announced on the 11th july that s4c clirlun would be closing down at the end of the year,due to financial reasons.all things being right,hopefully channel 4 hd should be avaiable in wales next year.
