Channel 4HD Freesat Frequency Change -

liamtech

Hey folks - MY freesat Technisat HDFS has just auto retuned to the new Astra 1N version of Channel 4HD. Just noticed this minute, this is obviously in line with the 1N roll-out - but for those who are not using freesat receivers, they will obviously have to retune to the new frequency manually - No mention of the frequency change on joinfreesat or anywhere else but i must have happened earlier today.

anyway id say the eurobird version will vanish in days!

Bring on 5* and 5USA!

I've had my fta tuned in to this just in case.....

Did a manual Freesat scan, C4 HD on Astra 1N now, but no epg data yet.

Anyone able to post a frequency for the new 1n version? Thanks

11127 V 22000 ID=21200 2/3 DVB-S2
also a few ITVs testing on
11052 H 22000 5/6 DVB-S

After a full manual scan of my VU+ Duo just now, I see one C4 HD channel at 12606v. So I'm wondering, why is the box not seeing the other one coming off N1? Do I need a satellites.xml file or something?

Just do a manual scan on the ch4 transponder.

11127 V 22000 ID=21200 2/3 DVB-S2

It will appear with channel name 21200

CH4HD should now be showing proper name and epg data on 1N

Had to retune my Humax Foxsat this evening. 4HD gone off 12606V. Now at 11127V with EPG info. Normally the box prompts you to retune when there are channel changes. Didn't happen in this case.

Think its changed to the new frequency on Sky+ HD box too. Signal stength and quality seem higher than before.

Scanning on those values gives me nothing. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:Hang on, Im finding it with a FEC of 7/8. How come ? Everyone else is using 2/3

Its available on Sky HD ?

Only on the UK EPG. Can't be tuned via Add Channels for Sky+ HD boxes on RoI subscriptions. Need at least a UK FTV card to access the UK EPG to get it.

Also a Sky+ HD box thats never been paired with an RoI subs card will have the UK EPG as the default EPG and therefore 4HD at channel 140.

Folks

Can anyone else please confirm.....

I am getting CH HD at the following
11127 V 22000 ID=21200 7/8 DVB-S2

but everyone is getting it on
11127 V 22000 ID=21200 2/3 DVB-S2

Difference is I am using FEC 7/8 as opposed to 2/3.

So why is this? makes no sense? Reason I'm worried is that I just updated software on my box and am worried I may have a bug.

Will it ever be available here?

Hard to know. BBC1 HD and BBC HD have made it on to the RoI EPG. 4HD may follow.

Sir Oxman

It's coming in at 99% versus 56% before on the older TP

Try adding 8PSK into the parameters given above, if possible.

On C4HD go to Menu>System > Diagnostics and you will see the exact percentages.

The figures you are quoting should be enough to see a picture, but I have nothing either.

Something odd is going on here. Why has the Humax not auto retuned? Anyway we are not alone.

See discussion on post 25 here

My Humax box is always in stand by at night so it normally processes channel updates, but not this time.

I will do a manual re scan now to see if C4HD comes in from the new position.

edit: Ya that did the trick. It's a strange one. Checked with my sister and her Humax had updated automatically

That version of CH4 has closed down. It moved to astra 1N
11127 V 22000 2/3 DVB-S2

Technique

A lot of my menu options are now greyed out, including the ability to tune.

Any ideas?

I retuned my Humax Foxsat to get the new CH4 HD frequency. It's now at 11126MHz V 22000 2/3 and I'm only getting 2 days info in the EPG for CH4 HD. Anyone else have this problem?

I haven't checked today but last evening by C4HD EPG hadn't fully populated either - I think people over on DS were reporting the same issue.

Curious, I have the Channel 4HD on 11127 V 22000, maybe this small difference is responsible?

excollier

It will be resolved soon enough.

Usually means your box is doing something like recording a programme, or about to record a programme, and won't let you do anything to interfere with it happening.

Is there a way of inputting the frequency manually for Freesat mode? I tried it using Software Update > Manual Update and inputting the frequencies posted here but all got was a pop up telling me no new software was found.

On my Feaguson Ariva 120 HD (FTA box) you can manually add or delete Transponders, I had to add TP 11127 V 22000 in order to get CHN4 HD, I notice that your box is a Humax Freesat box, so I guess that's a different beast. Hopefully other Humax Foxsat owners will come to the rescue.

Good luck.

I noticed my Humax box had auto-retuned C4HD last night to the new 1N frequency, I'm now getting 100% signal and 100% quality on C4HD which is significantly better than the rain-encumbered TP it was on before

@Technique, try doing a Freesat Tune (the one where you enter your *ahem* postcode) (W1A 1AA FTW!) and it should give you the new C4HD frequency automatically.

I have an Ariva meself upstairs The Humax is populating the full EPG now so it sorted itself out on its own as excollier eluded to
