Hi there,
I've just had to do a re on my tv and came to find that the VIVA on channel 57
is no longer being aired.
Could you kindly look into this for me, many thanks.
Julie

The SES/ UHD Demo had their service_type changed from 31 = "HEVC television service" to 25 = "H.264/AVC HD digital television service".

"Channel Diffs" is a comparison of AltDVB files:

Channel Diffs from 18/01/2018 20:47:26 to 29/01/2018 05:34:54

Changed:

Astra UHD Demo (7400) 12441V
service_type changed from 31 to 25
provider changed from SES ASTRA to SES

Astra UHD Demo (7401) 12441V
service_type changed from 31 to 25
provider changed from SES ASTRA to SES

SES UHD Demo (7402) 12441V
service_type changed from 31 to 25

*****************

A of the NIT on any in the ASTRA/BSkyB gives:

networkName = ASTRA
networkID = 0020
number of multiplexes = 75

12441V is not in the ASTRA/BSkyB network so changes are not picked up in ASTRA/BSkyB Diffs.

A scan of the NIT and SDT on 12441V gives:

networkName = ASTRA
networkID = 0002
number of multiplexes = 1

12441.00 V 29500 8/9 DVB-S2 QPSK 0.25 028.2E
original_network_id = 0x0002 = 2
transport_stream_id = 0x07F6 = 2038

Astra UHD Demo 25 1CE8 0 4 1 SES
Astra UHD Demo 25 1CE9 0 4 1 SES
SES UHD Demo 25 1CEA 0 4 0 SES

Note the same networkName of ASTRA but different networkID.

12441V is in the network where it appears as:

12441.00 V 29500 8/9 DVB-S2 QPSK 0.25 028.2E
transport_stream_id = 2038 original_network_id = 2

Playing back a sample of Astra UHD Demo in mpc-hc, file-properties gives:
