DVB-S UK - Sky & ITV +'s

[steeb]

Dear all,

only just noticed last night that ITV1 London +1 is now a channel (I've been seeing mentions of it for a while). I'm not sure when it started broadcasting but it has changed a few things with my set-up.

(I have one Sky STB with Sky Freesat card into a PVR150 and 2 x DVB-S devices.)

ITV1 London +1 now broadcasting on Sky channel 131 (previously channel 131 was ITV2 +1)

ITV2 +1 now moved to channel 179 (which was ITV3 +1)
ITV3 +1 now moved to channel 180 (which was ITV4 +1)
ITV4 +1 now does not seem to be anywhere in Sky channels

Sky listings make no mention of it

http://tv.sky.com/tvlistings

however it still appears to be broadcasting where it always has on freq

Code:

T:10832,H,22000,56~NID:0~ONID:0~TSID:2049~P:10015~V:2364~A:2365~L:eng~PMT:263~TXT:2367~PCR:2364~N:>ITV4+1

(which is presumably for other Freesat's benefit)

So now getting ITV1 London +1 through channel 131 on Sky STB but no channel for ITV4 +1, but which I can get on the 2 x DVB-S devices......

Next I went to re-scan in NPVR nothing showed for ITV1 London +1

so I went to king of Sat

http://en.kingofsat.net/pos-28.2E.php

got details for ITV1 London +1

entered these into GB-PVR scan.cache as

Code:

T:10891,H,22000,56~NID:32~ONID:2~TSID:2053~P:10155~V:2366~A:2367~L:eng~PMT:271~TXT:2397~PCR:2366~N:>ITV1 London +1

appears to be correct

in NPVR it scans as name - 10155

think there is at least one other ITV1 +'s out there but all appearing as numbers in a scan

Have to wait and see if Sky find a channel number for ITV4 +1

this may be of interest to someone, if not I got to write it down which helps me get my head around it

Ah ha, v v good info, didn't think of actually looking at ITV site

So part time for ITV2 +1 on freeview at least for now and ITV4 +1 gone from Sky completely. Good detective work!

Yep, but both still full time on Freesat.

Me too, hence my TimeSharer plugin (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...g-channels), which works, I just can't find the time to write it up properly.
