SID 51110 is 1920x1080
SID 7100 is the same except it carries no video presently

Or maybe you are referring to some other SID?

DMAX channel coming to freesat. Channel 150.
.....
DMAX (Channel 150)

We're over the moon to announce that DMAX is now available on Freesat; the home for those who have a passion for survival, extreme lives, motoring and comedy. And we're even more excited for the new shows the channel has in store for us over the next couple of months. Get ready for hilarious animated comedy, adrenaline pumping reality series and appearances from our beloved Bear Grylls.

I do wonder if we will see all of Discovery's channels on fta at some stage, perhaps including eurosport.

Dmax is already on Freesat and FTA since 16th of January.

Mod: I have to regard this as a spam post and delete it. Sorry poster. There may be an appropriate forum elsewhere on Boards to ask the question but you can’t do it on an unrelated thread

Freesat 175 in HD, no SD other than FTA as far as I can tell.

edit - the FTA SD is missing.

But I did spot BBC One sailing under the EPG name ETV1

Showcase is back FTA it'll be on 163 freesat I think

Thanks for the Edit ....... was unable to see an SD version

I notice SID 7100 is still showing a blank/black screen ...... it previously had shown some Freesports in HD and also some Smithsonian content while that was testing.

Anyone got an indication what might be planned for this?

The picture on it look's fantastic. The channel is in the English language.

Beijing propaganda! Probably. I'm struck by how many news channels are HD when general entertainment ones usually are not.

It’s weird that Sky News is one of the few that are SD on FTA. Surely they will have to bite the bullet eventually.

Yes, very odd - Bloomberg, CNN, BBC News, RT, Al Jazeera, France 24, TRT are all FTA in HD. Sky News looks awful in comparison. Yet they broadcast in HD on YouTube.

I know, I find myself switching over to Youtube to watch it instead of the satellite feed.
