Now getting CH4 HD on my 2008 Panasonic Freesat TV on Other Satellite.
Was not up to this morning so CH4 HD have done something this afternoon to enable me to receive it.
Can't find it on Freesat though, anyone know its allocated EPG number?
Regards

Yes should be 104 put it will not be, would upset SD viewers. Sky have failed to use 101, 102, 103 for thier HD services I'm told.
I can undrestand this, but Freesat should get a block of numbers set apart for HD programs but I'm afraid Freesat seem to be a stick in the mud organisation.
I asked Panasonic why no feature on my TV set to Move the order they replied Freesat will NOT let them do the feature.

Just noticed that the present program on CH4 HD is 4x3 and on SD is stretched out to 16x9.
Tv Aspect for both is set at Auto, so something in the 2 signaling of aspect in the 2 transmissions id different.

Brian if for example I was able to move 119 to possition 3 (103) I would still see the HD adverts wether it be in the third possition or 119.
In other words either way I will NOT be viewing local adverts and will not see Yorkshire TV local News etc but Granadas.

On ITV1 HD I see what I think are Granada area adverts as the programs are that areas of course not the actual area I live in.
It could be of course ITV1, CH4 and Five will do different adverts on HD versions to suit the wider areaa rather a local regional ones.
Any way the result is apparent for the viewer that Freesats EPG numbers are a real mess and ill thought out.

... Search Results for - KingOfSat
It might be the Encrypted ones used solely by SKY, and other 2 clear to enable Freesat to use them as well.

CH4 HD just appeared on Freesat EPG at 126 which I think was the expected number for HD version.
