ALAN PEACHEY: I would keep an eye on Astra 1N at 28.2°E - LyngSat

Dave Chappell: Thanks for that, I will have a look at why you get no results as it clearly should show Blaenplwyf and Arfon.

J: If the set is "HD Ready" then it should have a DVI input, if there is no HDMI.

VGA is an analogue connection.

Andrew Tegala: The region you receive depends on the direction the aerial points. You will have to ask the company to move the aerial, but it could be more complicated as it will probably be the wrong group, other people who use it will not want to watch London programmes and your system may contain amplifiers that have to be tuned to each frequency.

Duncan: Probably the best thing to do.

Rediffusion was a 405-line service in most places, so the system will have been abandonded since the mid 1980s.

If you are *sure* that is the case you could remove it if you wanted to. However removing an active cable (BT, Virgin etc) is a serious legal matter.

David: I think the resultant bitrate is actually still 28Mb/s due to changes of the guard interval to compensate for the change to FEC. I will get around to making the necessary code changes to show the overridges above at some point later this week.

p3tr3v: I'm not sure if that is allowed by the DMOL rules, as the LCN numbers are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

When BBC TWO HD starts up, it would make sense (in England at least) to put BBC TWO HD on "2".

p3tr3v: My amp shows "DOLBY DIGITAL [3/2]" (ie 5.1) when the promo loop is running, which I have just checked.

I will test the channel later with some other programmes to see how they actually come up.
