js: I'm not sure if there have actually been many sales of Freesat SD equipment, I'm sure I recall reading somewhere that it was almost all HD.This isn't the case for old-fasioned Sky boxes, where there are a lot of SD ones still out there costing broadcasters a small fortune to support...Thanks for your updates, my satellite box is away being fixed...

Briantist: As far as I can remember, (decent) Freesat boxes have had an HDMI in the back for more than 7 years, so if you could get HD on them, it was fine. In fact Freesat was promoted as somethign which you could get HD on, when Freeview HD was just a possibility.

Sorry to hear about the Humax - what happened?

MikeB: Yes, Freesat was always the better HD choice..My loverly Humax HDR1010 must have known I was going to write up a long-term review of it, because it just started power cycling when being turned on.I took it back to Richer Sounds - where I got it from - three whole weeks ago and they said it's abroad somewhere in a Humax workshop "not yet needing parts".It's very disappointing, I need it to watch non-BBC programmes to take out the adverts. I'm doing everything Chromecast as my Freeview HD box is the first generation and doesn't support recording.

Just found while scanning that 11225V was causing an error.

Turns out this transponder is now configured as DVB-S2.

The ASTRA NIT has just been updated:

Comparing ASTRA 17-11-2015 18 00.txt and ASTRA 18-11-2015 01 16.txt

Changed:
11225.00 V 27500 2/3 DVB-S QPSK 028.2E :TSID = 2106 --> 11225.00 V 23000 2/3 DVB-S2 0.25 8PSK 028.2E :TSID = 2106

The services carried are:

NHK World HD
RT HD
Setanta HD
Premier HD


The Freesat NIT has just been updated:

Comparing Freesat 18-11-2015 01 16.txt and Freesat 18-11-2015 03 01.txt

Changed:
11225.00 V 27500 2/3 DVB-S QPSK 028.2E :TSID = 2106 --> 11225.00 V 23000 2/3 DVB-S2 0.25 8PSK 028.2E :TSID = 2106


The scan results showed that ITV1 West and ITV1+1 West have lost their Freesat streams:

Number of streams changed from 10 to 5
lost stream PID = 3843

Re: JS
What if there is some free space on a transponder, but not enough for a HD channel.
On Freeview, Film 4 +1 is on BBC B (PSB3) HD multiplex.
If it was on a COM transponder then only some people could receive it.

It's cheaper to buy a HD box, than to move to an area where you can receive a COM transmission signal.

With Freesat/satellite, I suppose one day they may have less room for all the channels and squeeze a few SD channels on HD transmitters.

Mark A: The situation on DTT is quite different to that on Satellite.

No one is going to put SD channels on S2 transponders until BSkyB replace their SD boxes.

Freesat SD boxes are still being sold, seem really popular, and at 85 squid, damned expensive.

On DTT, there is an active campaign to get people to buy Freeview HD capable equipment, hence COM7 and COM8.

As far as SD on T2, I doubt Film4+1 is much of an inducement, but some of these on COM7 could be:

050 mov4men+1
057 VIVA
063 Community
071 Motors TV
077 Rishtey Europe
081 TalkingPictures TV
134 Al Jazeera Arabic

As far as capacity for another HD channel on COM7, the seven SD channels account for more than that.

Have just measured the T2 bit-rates, and null packets amounted to 60% of the total on BBC B, though at this time in the morning, some video streams are showing almost static pictures.
