The Broadcasting Act 1980 began the process of adding a fourth, and Channel 4, along with its Welsh counterpart, was formally created by an Act of Parliament in 1982.

Brian - Seems like somebody at has kicked up with it being put out FTA as my receivers are showing it as videcrypt. It looks like we will have to wait until April before we see this concluded.

Les: It went encrypted during Desperate Housewifes this morning. I don't watch much on even in definition but I checked to see if it was still FTA. The sreen went blank with the message "no or audio", so I changed then and it came up as "scrambled program". On my Panasonic it as always described it as "Pay TV - Encrypted". What I can't understand is why they have chosen a symbol rate of 28250, whereas all HD transponders have a symbol rate of 29500.

NottsUK - It may be of course that until the contract has run out that this is an issue. Obviusly that contract will have to run its course and I assume that it will have done that at the point it is included on the "" EPG in April. As all the other that have been included on Freesat I expect it will also be FTA at the point also.

NottsUK: The symbol rate has to match the capabilities of the , this is probably down to the way that Eurobird 1 has both H and V polarization on the same frequencies.

Les Nicol: I would expect that have probably run up and threatened them with something legal and unpleasant.

Matrix_Mike: I'm assuming you mean on TV.

The BBC are hoping that the next generation of encoders will allow five HD in one . The target is somewhere around the end of next year. I believe Channel 5 have to be offered the option again, though (BBC One HD only exists because Five turned down their option last time).

I would expect that ITV and are uneasy bedfellows on a BBC multiplex, so they may well be looking for ways to get new multiplexes going. I don't think anything will get sorted out until after completes and channels 31 to 38 are auctioned off.

Hi all, Channel 4 HD have started on 12607v 27500 3/4, this is on the Eurobird and not on 2D so a very strong all over Europe.
