Any idea where the HD "Wild Earth", the live feed from various game reserves in South Africia has gone? Was on Astra 2A 11171 H 22000. Showing good signal strenght.

dxhound2005 · 19-02-2023 12:56pm

From the Flysat satellite news 16 February.

17:55 CET WildEarth TV ( 11171 H ) left Astra 2G @ 28.2° E

The signal is still there and the channel name 51118 still scans, but No Audio Video message.

Gerry Wicklow · 19-02-2023 1:45pm

Bit of a strange one this. I'm fairly sure it was still there earlier in the week. However it seems odd that they were testing for 2 months solid without launching. I first spotted it on 12th Dec.

No mention on their website https://wildearth.tv/channel/

It is still available on Rakuten TV if you have a suitable device.

RoryMurphyJnr · 20-02-2023 6:19pm

Probably been answered before but just want to check if it's possible to tune in Channel 5 like we can with the ITV/UTVs?

thanks

If memory serves these channels may be tagged as subscription channels, in which case a FTA scan of the frequency/transponder may not store them. In this case do an "all channel" scan which will store the subscription channels too.

Not on the Irish Sky EPG though?

Nope, manual addition via Add Channels.

10773H, 8PSK, 23000, 3/4.

swoofer · 24-02-2023 9:35pm

I take it you mean cheap FTA boxes as a good FTA box can have bouquets set to autoupdate like sky and no problems for youn old techy or non techy.

Hotblack Desiato · 24-02-2023 11:21pm

I have two Humax Foxsat-HDRs with the modified software, they're just the business - "just work" - never any hassle and non-techy spouse friendly - stream recordings to any device in the house. I got the second one cheap on eBay a few years ago, I should probably grab another as a spare before they become collector's items 😉

galtee boy · 24-02-2023 11:30pm

So tell me where a plug and play fta box with 7 day epg for Irish and UK channels can be bought, that an elderly or non techy person doesn't have to download epgs and skins etc , so as to make a fta box look similar to a Sky box. For years I've asked how come somebody isn't making these for the Irish Market and selling them.

L1011 · 24-02-2023 11:46pm

The Irish market is too small to make it worthwhile.

Hotblack Desiato · 25-02-2023 10:05am

and let's face it, there's shag-all worth watching on the Irish channels anyway 😕

Wcool · 28-02-2023 10:26am

OK followup question, I am trying tio reach Advanced level 😁:

Lots of channels have a +1 hour 2nd channel or a SD + HD variant of the same channel.

Is there a hack to tell the EPG software to use the data from another channnel for the EPG display?

swoofer · 28-02-2023 11:13am

er can you explain a bit further with examples????? And can you say box and image you are using? I am intrigued as at the moment I am tinkering with a box from scratch and setting up bits like epg.

Wcool · 28-02-2023 1:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120296849#Comment_120296849

Well an example would be the channel GREAT! Movies

I have EPG for GREAT! Movies, but not for GREAT! Movies +1.

Is there a way to use the feed for GREAT! Movies for +1 as well?

Same for DRAMA, GREAT! tv and YESTERDAY

Wcool · 28-02-2023 1:19pm

Sorry forgot: OpenATV 6.4 with zgemma H7

Gerry Wicklow · 28-02-2023 1:51pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120297374#Comment_120297374

You should have EPG data for all channels inc Great movies +1 if you use crossEPG.

swoofer · 28-02-2023 1:56pm

now that is a good example. I have a zgemma h7s setup and it did not have great movies so I added them and got all the epg's. This is with openatv 6.4 and using a kiddac skin. And I use crossepg with openepg ticked. here is a pic.

But try this first go to great movies + and then arrow up and then press red button, you may find another list for great movie + select it and then press epg. Next bit is to move that to your movies bouquet.

But you need to say what way you have set up your epg. I have just got another Zh7 from Germany and started configuring with basic epg and as yet cant make it download manually. Its 6.4 as well but I will add a lot of bits as I go along.

Have you had the box long?

I have to go out for a bit.

Gerry Wicklow · 28-02-2023 1:59pm

MENU>SETUP>EPG>CROSSEPG>

Make sure Sky UK is ticked and save the settings.

This is on Vix but ATV should be similar

Wcool · 28-02-2023 4:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120297556#Comment_120297556

I didn't have CrossEPG but found it in the plugins. I downloaded it (it crashed a few times but after reboot all ok). I will set it up later this evening.

Wcool · 28-02-2023 4:17pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120297542#Comment_120297542

2 years zgemma but OpenATV for god knows how long, at least 10 years. It seems not having CrossEPG was the problem

swoofer · 28-02-2023 4:44pm

A hard reboot sorts crossepg. I do autobouquets first then run cross. You may know this but a tip is to save epg to a usb. And never to internal flash.

Wcool · 28-02-2023 4:45pm

Great CrossEPG solved my issues, thank you very much!

icdg · 03-03-2023 2:34pm

Im acutely aware that there’s a bit of frustration that this thread has been hijacked by the BBC HD discussion. There are 166 posts to be split off and I’ll look at doing this later on a larger screen device.

But not on a Satellite receiver, which is what this Forum is for. Saying something is on your PC can mislead people

You accuse me of misleading people? I find your post unacceptable.

Please quote my words where I misled people, else withdraw your accusation.

If anyone is truly desperate for new channel news, sky F1 UHD launched this week. Smart swapped into 406 with the relevant subscription.

Wrong thread I'm afraid

icdg · 04-03-2023 9:21am

I think that’s all the BBC posts gone. Can we keep this thread for new channel launches please. Maybe from now on discussion on this thread is limited to posting channel name, frequency and where applicable Sky and Freesat EPG LCNs. Thanks.

Mackersdublin and Johnboy1951 take your argument elsewhere or take warnings both of you.

dxhound2005 · 13-03-2023 8:39pm

13 March.

19:13 CET WildEarth TV ( 11171 H ) back on Astra 2G @ 28.2° E.

Still channel name 51118.

Thats 60s,70s,80s frequencies, I haven't seen them listed here

Stewball · 07-04-2023 4:03pm

Just seen this https://twitter.com/RT_Europa/status/1644350857335517184

Can RT International be tuned on freeview boxes again? The article gives the satellite frequency.

Gerry Wicklow · 07-04-2023 5:41pm

Badr 4 and Nilesat require specialist equipment to get them here, if that's the frequencies you mentioned..

dxhound2005 · 07-04-2023 6:44pm

The transponder on Badr 4 should be possible. I used to get plenty of stations on that satellite, but with my dish not being perfect now, I get none. That information about RT on Badr 4 is on Lyngsat since February.

I can get RT International on 14 West 11638 V, 10 dB signal.

Stewball · 07-04-2023 7:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120452349#Comment_120452349

So it can't be tuned with just an ordinary Skybox and dish?

Johnboy1951 · 07-04-2023 7:40pm

I watch this stream since our masters tried to prevent us viewing the channel.

https://rumble.com/embed/vtp5hp/

As I only have a dish pointed at 28.2E I have no real hope of getting any other sat.

swoofer · 07-04-2023 8:19pm

Why would anyone in their right mind want t to watch that channel and as it cannot be received on Astra 28 east it's way off topic. I had a quick look at 26 east and it was mind blowing. Tripe for T would be a better description.

GIMP · 07-04-2023 8:23pm

When it was available in Europe I watched it quite often for an alternative view on geo politics until it was banned by the overlords!

Johnboy1951 · 07-04-2023 10:57pm

Really? I was unaware that the Satellite forum was limited to "Astra 28 east".

swoofer · 08-04-2023 8:58am

not the forum this thread, and has been 28 east from day one. There is a section for foreign channels and but none for tripe channels yet.

icdg · 08-04-2023 9:28am

Can I ask that we take any political discussion elsewhere, this isn’t the place for it. there is no outright ban on discussing RT here and I am prepared to accept that the question was innocently asked. I think it is common case that RT won’t be going on any U.K. or Irish regulated EPG any time soon for reasons most people are well aware of.

We did at one point divide the forum into Satellite and Foreign Satellite. The former was supposed to be for Sky, Freesat, FTA channels on Astra at 28.2 deg E and Saorsat and the latter for everything else. I haven’t sought to strictly enforce that divide in years.

One further thing. One person “tripe” may be a favourite of another person. I’m not saying that by any defence of RT but if we had a standard of banning discussions of “tripe” channels I’d be banning discussions of half the channels on 28.2 E here. That said, there should be no further discussion of the channel in question on this thread, for now at least.

Stewball · 08-04-2023 8:21pm

Apologies if I posted in the wrong thread.

I was just curious if I could re-tune RT to my Skybox - it seems that's not the case. At least I can still watch the uncensored Rumble stream & RT for Europe on Twitter.

mackersdublin · 16-04-2023 6:10pm
