    Can that be added into a SkyHD box via Other Channels?

    reported on digitalspy:
    Channel 4 has started test transmissions for its high definition service on digital satellite.

    Currently alternating between a black screen and a holding page, the channel may be found at 12.188H at a symbol rate of 27.5 with FEC 2/3.

    In September, Channel 4 announced that it plans to launch Channel 4 HD on channel 140 in December. It will offer a high definition simulcast of its main service on satellite.

    taking from digitalspy forums

    "Well C4 HD is now apparantly testing in HD, but on a different setup:

    11797 H 29.5 3/4

    Its the same as Sky Movies HD1 but unfortunetly for all us Sky HD digibox customers, we cannot search for frequencies as high as 29.5!

    Still, not long to 'proper' launch!"


    showing Alpha Dog in HD at the moment , its not FTA

    PC is too slow to decode it :(

    Luckily i'll have a new one in a few weeks :)


    The epg just says the show countdown is on
