BBC Satellite ReJig

[jockgbpvr]

BBC Satellite parameters change on the 27th Sept.

Moves to 8PSK (& fec 2/3)

Currently the tuning ini is:

10847,V,23000,89,69
[Pilot off_Normal_35_S2_QPSK]

Does this change to:
10847,V,23000,23,70]
[Pilot off_Normal_35_S2_8PSK]?

Surmised from this thread -

The latter string seemed to bring BBC1 HD & BBC HD back to life this morning.

So do all Freesat users need to change the file and retune? Can anybody supply an updated file?

Although the quickest way is to edit the file so the top part reads:

Code:

[SATTYPE]
1=28.2
2=FREESAT ONLY (28.2E)

[DVB]
[U][B]0=1

1=10847,V,23000,23,70[/B][/U]

1=10714,H,22000,56
2=10729,V,22000,56
3=10744,H,22000,0
...

Then it'll only rescan that one transponder. Waaay quicker.

..and NPVR simply notes the scanned channels exist & flags them as updated.

Do i need to delete the channel before doing the rescan for NPVR to pick up the change?

No, it picked it up for me by just rescanning, and listed the two channels (kinda greyed out) with names like BBC One HD (updated).

So it did! never knew it did that. Makes sat changes like this easier. Thanks for the tuning info etc.

New (2/10/12) info here of upcoming BBC transponder changes (Radio & National HD services)

Yep, it's going to get messy for a while!
