Another new channel is launching in the UK and will be named TruTV. It will probably be launching here on Freesat, Freeview and Youview.

The launch date for the channel is the 4th of August.

Two new channels

BonanzaBonanza - launches tomorrow. Its another desperately cheapo chanel full of low grade public domain copies of old series.

Spike TV coming in 2015.

Kristopherus · 12-10-2014 8:45pm

Anyone know the frequency for ITV Be? Apparently it launched last week.

It's a placeholder channel, it was launched a few times previously as well. It may well be Spike TV's eventual slot.

Essentially there are no more EPG slots available for standard definition channels to launch, as the older Sky boxes don't have the resources to handle any more, so EPG slots are a very valuable commodity at the moment.

Sky operate them on a "use or lose" basis, in other words, you can't just grab/buy up a load of slots and retain them but not use them, so you have a few channels like Bonanza Bonanza or ?TV which are doing nothing more than squatting, usually showing repeats of cheapo shows or multiple timeshifts of parent channels until their owners either launch a full channel or sell on the slots to someone else.

Of course most Freesat or generic FTA boxes should be fine. One wonders how many old Sky boxes are still in use as main STBs

BB is on Freesat 157 for those interested in terrible copies of Flash Gordon, Sherlock Holmes etc

zeebre12 · 15-10-2014 11:43pm

I always wondered when they create

zeebre12 · 15-10-2014 11:48pm

I always wondered when they create new channels on Sky e.g ITV BE, BT Sport etc..how do they make room for the channel when they don't replace a channel and it is a completely new channel(like there is a limited number of channel numbers in guide)

16-10-2014 10:53am

ITV BE replaced ITV Encore +1,for what its worth!

dublinman1990 · 16-10-2014 8:28pm

I got another channel with a SID number 20820 a few minutes ago rescanned from my FTA satellite box but there's no info from it at the moment.

It is probably another ITV HD region grouped in with the others.

Just to update you from my last post that if you're using both UTV HD and STV HD from a HD satellite Box you would see now that they have moved frequency into the 23000 symbol rate.

The full EPG and name for both channels are now following frequency since last week

Freq 11067
SR 23000
V

This was the same frequency for both ITV London and Granada in HD. Both UTV HD and STV HD have the full EPG in the new frequency.

The channel numbered 20820 has come back but is still blank.

There is another channel with the SID 20780 showing UTV HD with no EPG and the frequency for that is 11053 21997 H.

STV HD has it's old SID number, 12130, back in the old frequency 10993 22000 H.

dxhound2005 · 13-11-2014 8:32pm

Made in Bristol, Made in Cardiff, Made in Leeds, FTA at the moment. Channel names 55315, 55316, 55317.

11680 V 27500 5/6.

Strawberry HillBilly · 13-11-2014 10:35pm

Just tried this but found settings needed to be
11680 V 27500 2/3 DVB-S QPSK

Harry Palmr · 23-03-2015 11:39pm

Spike TV is nearly here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yug55ktst5g

Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy etc....

24-03-2015 4:16am

As it's Channel 5 related we may not get it on the epg here!

Gerry Wicklow · 24-03-2015 11:49am

Worryingly it is on the same CH5 TP which means 12 channels on 10964 H 22000 5/6

itvBE (or ITV British Entertainment) did NOT replace the itv encore channels. itv encore and itv encore +1 channels are not broadcast in the clear on satellite unlike all of the other itv channels and these channels cannot be manually tuned in even through a Irish Sky Digibox (ROI) subscription at this time. Only Sky Digital UK subscribers have access to itv encore and itv encore + 1 channels due to an agreement between Sky Television plc. and itv.

For your reference, the tuning details are listed below but you should get a message stating:
"This Programme is not available" if you attempt to access either itv encore and/or itv encore + 1 channels via "Other Channels" on a Sky Digibox here in the Republic of Ireland.

itvBE channel: 10.758 V 22000 5/6 SID 10075 VPID 2305
itv encore channel: 10.891 H 22000 5/6 SID 10135 VPID 2311
itv encore +1 channel: 10.906 V 22000 5/6 SID 10265 VPID 2363

All other itv channels may be accessed Free-To-Air (FTA) on digital satellite via Astra 28.2 degrees east such as:
itv, itv+1, citv, itv2, itv2+1, itv3, itv3+1, itv4, itv4+1, itvBE, UTV(Northern Ireland), STV, itv Wales and many other itv local regions.

Correct

VIVA may well continue to broadcast on digital satellite on the SKY epg channel no: 357 given the announcement regarding Spike UK replacing VIVA on Channel 21 on the UK Freeview digital platform. Freeview is the UK's equivalent digital terrestrial tv platform to Saorview (except Freeview offers much more channels/options). Outside the UK itself, some tv viewers close to the border with Northern Ireland and along parts of the East and South East coasts of Ireland may receive the Freeview tv signal from the UK at certain times depending on certain atmospheric conditions.

VIVA UK channel - digital satellite tuning details:
11.895 V 27500 2/3

Spike TV channel (UK Testcard update from 15/03/2015)
10.964 H 22000 5/6 SID 7730 VPID 2360 C/N Lock 2361
This channel was encrypted under label id "7730" yesterday.
