New TDT HD Channel - TDP HD - Teledeporte HD

The Spanish national broadcaster RTVE have launched a new HD channel on TDT.

Teledeporte HD has been launched this December.

Teledeporte is the TVE channel dedicated to sport, showing many live sports including football, cycling and Olympics.

Teledeporte HD is a simulcast of the existing Teledeporte channel.

Teledeporte HD becomes the second RTVE HD channel, after TVE HD.

Teledeporte HD can be found on the same frequency as Teledeporte and TVE HD - in many areas this is "Multiplex 22" - frequency 482 MHz.

TDT is the Spanish digital TV system available via a TV aerial. Essentially it is the Spanish version of the UKs Freeview (UK Freeview is not available in Spain!)

Astra 2E News : Transfer of channels from 1N to 2E will take place "early February 2014"

Astra 2E News : According to SES, who own and operate the new Astra 2E UK TV satellite, the transfer of channels from 1N to 2E will take place "early February 2014"

Channels in this transfer will include BBC ITV C4 and Sky pay channels.

"The transfer will have no adverse implications for viewers in the UK and Ireland as the affected channels will continue to operate on the same frequencies and will be broadcast at the same, or slightly improved power levels, across the UK and Ireland"

So no changes in UK TV reception in Spain for a couple of months yes, despite what you may have heard on the rumour mill - probably from some "Not So Smart" TV box sellers!!

Police evict RTV (TV Valencia) staff in Spain after closure of station

Liquidators escorted by police are evicting staff from a public TV station in the Spanish city of Valencia, after an order to shut it down.

They moved in after staff at the loss-making station defied the closure order by the regional government and continued broadcasting.

Valencia's government took the decision to close RTVV after losing a court battle over staff cuts.

It is the first regional TV station to be closed down as austerity bites.

Astra 2E - The New UK TV Satellite- News Update

Astra 2E Update : 28/11/13 :

Astra 2E, the new UK TV satellite, is still located at 43east.

At the moment it is unknown as to why it has not yet started to move to the UK TV Astra slot at 28 east.

This means that is it still unclear as to when UK TV transmissions from the likes of BBC ITV C4 will commence from Astra 2E.

Will it start before Christmas or in the New Year? We simply do not know at the moment...

Al Jazeera Sports and 3pm Premier League Kick offs - the latest news

http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/11/al-jazeer-asports-3pm-premier-league-kick-offs-latest/


According to reports, the FAPL are starting to limit which of the 3pm FA Premier League kick offs are made available to broadcasters.

For European broadcasters this has almost always been the case, since many of these services (Sky Italia, Sky Germany, Canal+) can also be receive via satellite in the UK.

However, it appears that this "3pm blackout" has now also been imposed on other non European broadcasters, including Al Jazeera Sports.

Could this be some "retaliation" by the FA PL on JSC, due to the JSC channels being available to many IPTV Internet TV systems, and that are used by some "pubs" in the UK??

TVCatchUp to drop ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 services

ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 have won a high court ruling forcing controversial London-based website TVCatchUp to stop streaming more than 20 of their services.

Under the ruling TVCatchUp has been told it cannot stream certain ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 channel, including ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, E4, Film4 and More4, on its web-based online service.

ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5's flagship channels will remain on the website due to section 73 of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act, which allows certain qualifying services to be retransmitted - although the three channels are not allowed to be streamed on mobile devices. The ruling means the disappearance of popular digital channels including ITV2, E4 and 5*, as well as any +1 timeshift streams.

TVCatchup is continuing to display the channels, but each icon merely redirects to the broadcasters' own live streams hosted on their individual websites.

TVCatchUp, which earlier this month added catchup TV to its offering of live streaming services, posted a statement on its website acknowledging the changes to its operation following the ruling.

"ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 welcome this decision," said the broadcasters in a joint statement. "It is a significant vindication for this action that the judge has ruled 21 of our channels are to be removed from the TVC website. This result will help protect the substantial investment broadcasters make in content and is a clear message to those who seek to infringe our copyright or use our content in an illegal capacity."

TVCatchUp has the right to appeal against the verdict. But lawyers consider the decision to be a major victory for UK broadcasters, which have been concerned about TVCatchUp's copyright infringement since as far back as 2007.

"The high court has finally confirmed that TVCatchUp must cease streaming all of the claimant broadcasters' channels on its service on mobile networks and all of the non public service channels, such as ITV2 and E4, on the internet," said Nick Swimer, partner at Reed Smith. "Whilst TVCatchUp may continue to stream the main public service channels on the internet, the high court indicated that the legal loophole which allows TVCatchUp to do this should be closed by the UK government, as it is not compatible with European law."

In March, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5's case against TVCatchup was ruled upon by Europe's highest court.

The European court of justice ruled that websites that retransmit live TV over the internet without permission from broadcasters are in breach of copyright.

A list of the channels and frequencies affected by the recent "satellite shuffle" between Eutelsat 28A and Astra.

A list of the channels and frequencies affected by the recent "satellite shuffle" between Eutelsat 28A and Astra.

Below is a list of the channels and frequencies affected by the recent "satellite shuffle" between Eutelsat 28A and Astra.

Note that for some people in some areas of Spain, channels on the Astra 2F UK beam may be unavailable, as your satellite dish may be too small to receive these frequencies.

As a general rule of thumb, if you can receive Channel Five, then you should be able to receive those other channels on Astra 2Fs UK beam.

If you are struggling to receive those channels on the Astra 2F UK beam, then it may be possible to search for the channels on their "Final" frequencies, as some of the channels are actually operating on their final frequencies.

On a Sky box, you simply go to the "Add Channels" menu option, and then add the channels to your Sky boxes "Other Channels" list, accessed via the Services Menu.

Hopefully by the 10th October, all channels will be on their final frequencies, and the Sky Guide and the Freesat Guide channel lists are all correctly "mapped" to the new frequencies.

BT Sports Frequency changes October 2013

BT Sports Frequency changes October 2013

Note that during the first 10 days of October 2013, BT Sports channels will be changing frequencies.

This is due to a change in the allocation of frequencies between Eutelsat and Astra.

BT Sport 1 and BT Sport 2 have now changed transponders, moving from 11.527 V, 27.500, 2/3 to 10.979 V, 22.000, 5/6.

This 10.979 frequency is on the Astra 2F UK beam, and so its reception may not be as good at it was previously. If you cannot receive Channel Five, then you will not be able to receive this frequency either!

BT Sport 1 and BT Sport 2 will by the 10th October 2013, be moved to their new frequency of 12.515 H

BT Sport 1 HD and BT Sport 2 HD have now changed transponders, moving from 11.585 H, 29.500, 3/4 to 11.156 V, 23.000, 8/9

BT Sport 1 HD and BT Sport 2 HD will by the 10th October 2013, be moved to their new frequency of 12.574 H

BT Sport - Free Weekend - 26th – 27th October 2013

BT Sport will be making BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2 and ESPN open during the weekend of the 26th – 27th October.

The BT Sport weekend runs from 6pm Friday to 6am Monday and any Sky customer will be able watch live rugby from the Aviva Premiership, including Bath v Gloucester, Northampton v Saracens and Wasps v Leicester.

The weekend will also see Crystal Palace take on Arsenal in the Barclays Premier League.

Similar to Google Instant, or TiVo's method of search, it should rapidly speed up the process of searching for content on users' Sky+ HD boxes.

Everything from actors to shows and events will be shown as letters are typed into the new search box. It is also possible to locate movies based on actor's names if, for example, the user can't remember the exact title of a film.

Results are taken from Sky TV as well as On Demand, so it is possible to find downloadable content straight within search.

Sky customers who have not connected their receiver to the internet will continue to be offered the basic search.

Sky / Freesat channel changes - many channels moving satellites from Eutelsat to Astra

Over the last day or two, some people with Freesat or "free to air" or "generic" satellite receiver, may notice that many of the "cheaper" channels are no longer available.

This is nothing to do with new satellites, more to do with old agreements.

The changes to many channels today and yesterday as the channel are moved from the Eutelsat satellite to the Astra satellites - as mentioned a few days ago in our blog : http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/09/some-uk-tv-frequency-changes-over-the-next-few-weeks/

This is part of an agreement, where by some of the frequencies that were allocated to Eutelsat, hav now been reallocated to Astra.

Sky boxes should automatically update the channels to the new frequencies.

Freesat boxes should also automatically update the channels to the new frequencies, but this will usually be done during early hours housekeeping. However if you want these channels back now, you simply need to perform a new Freesat rescan (usually Menu, Install)

For users of "non sky and non freesat" receivers, like "free to air" or "generic" satellite receiver, if you want these channels back you simply need to perform a new search / scan of the satellite - usually from the main menus "install" options.

UK / Sky / Freesat channels move to temporary frequencies ready for a swap between satellites

UK / Sky / Freesat channels move to temporary frequencies ready for a swap between satellites

As we mentioned a few days ago ( http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/09/some-uk-tv-frequency-changes-over-the-next-few-weeks/ ) some channels on Sky and Freesat will be moving frequencies.

This is because some of the frequencies the channels are currently transmitted from are being moved from the Eutelsat 28A satellite to Astra, as frequencies in question have been reallocated from Eutelsat to Astra. The changes affect services that have previously broadcast via the Eutelsat 28A satellite using a frequency band that rival SES (Astra) now claims as its own to use from the 4th October 2013.

The matter continues to be fought in the courts, but a recent ruling in Germany resulted in Eutelsat being told to stop broadcasting services in the contested frequency band by 4th October.

Consequently, services are now being transferred from Eutelsat to SES Astra's fleet of satellites.

These changes should be unnoticed for Sky and Freesat users, but some users with "generic" free to air receivers may have to perform a rescan should they lose a channel.

The changes will mean that viewers with generic free-to-air satellite receivers will need to retune twice in the coming fortnight to continue receiving all available services, and to regain access to any missing channels, but viewers with Sky and Freesat should see little disruption to their service, with both satellite TV operators working hard to ensure that their Electronic Programme Guides automatically redirect receivers to whichever frequencies are currently in use.

Astra 2E launched and still IPTV / Internet TV providers issue rumours about reception in Spain

Just because the new UK TV satellite, Astra 2E, was successfully launched last night, there will NOT be any changes for for several weeks yet - despite some IPTV / Internet TV providers saying "changes are imminent could be as soon as two weeks from today".

This is because the satellite has to be tested first, and this is done at another location (43 east).

Once that has been completed it will take several days to move from 43 east to the UK TV slot at 28 east.

This is assuming it follows the same process as the first new Astra 2 satellite, Astra 2F, which was also launched late September 2012, and operational with UK TV channels from December 2012.

This will be known, as it is possible to track the satellite on various websites.

Again some IPTV / Internet TV providers say "You will not get any advance warning of when the actual switch over to the new satellite will take place" - but the movement of the satellite to its correct geostationary UK TV slot is surely some indication!

Only then will channels start to move from the temporary Astra 1N to Astra 2E.

And only then will we get any meaningful data as to Astra 2Es reception in Spain, with its signal overspill into mainland Europe and Spain and Portugal, again despite some IPTV / Internet TV providers saying BBC ITV C4 and Fives "will no longer be available to the majority of Europe including Spain and Portugal."

Astra 2E Launch - September 2013 - images / pictures  

Astra 2E launch details - the launch of the new UK TV Satellite Astra 2E

Mission Profile:
The Proton M launch vehicle, utilizing a 5-burn Breeze M mission design, will lift off from Pad 39 at Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, with the ASTRA 2E satellite on board. The first three stages of the Proton will use a standard ascent profile to place the orbital unit (Breeze M Upper Stage and the ASTRA 2E satellite) into a sub-orbital trajectory. From this point in the mission, the Breeze M will perform planned mission manoeuvres to advance the orbital unit first to a circular parking orbit, then to an intermediate orbit, followed by a transfer orbit, and finally to a geosynchronous transfer orbit. Separation of the ASTRA 2E satellite is scheduled to occur approximately 9 hours, 12 minutes after liftoff.

Target Orbit at Separation:
Perigee: 4,202 km
Apogee: 35,736 km
Inclination: 23.0 degrees
Spacecraft Separation:
Approximately 9 hours, 12 minutes after liftoff
ILS Mission Statistics:
_5th ILS Proton Launch in 2013
_82nd ILS Proton Launch Overall
_23rd SES Satellite Launched on ILS Proton
_17th Astrium Satellite Launched on Proton

You can watch the launch of Astra 2E live Astra 19 East, frequency 11.023MHz SR 22000, FEC 5/6, and will begin half an hour before the satellite launch.

Some UK TV Frequency changes over the next few weeks (Oct 2013)

Over the next few weeks, some UK TV channels will be moving frequencies (and satellites).

These changes should be unnoticed for Sky and Freesat users, but some users with "generic" free to air receivers may have to perform a rescan should they lose a channel.

These changes are nothing to do with the new UK TV satellite Astra 2E ( http://www.satandpcguy.com/Site/astra_2e_satellite_reception_testing_news_updates.php ).

Basically UK TV come from satellites operated by two companies, SES Astra and Eutelsat. Recently, some frequencies currently used by Eutelsat, have been allocated to SES Astra.

This means that the channels on those frequencies will be affected. Some channels may simply move to new Eutelsat frequencies.

Other channels may move frequencies and satellites, from Eutelsat to Astra.

One such case is RT- UK SD (Russia Today) - http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/09/rt-sd-russia-today-satellite-frequency-changes-coming-soon/.

It looks like many changes will be happening, on both Astra and Eutelsat satellites, as channels on existing frequencies are shuffled around to accommodate these changes - which is probably the reason for this spate of channel frequency changes ( http://www.satandpcguy.com/forum/showthread.php?91374-Important-Sky-TV-and-Freesat-TV-Channel-Frequency-changes-and-updates&p=122133&viewfull=1#post122133 )

RT SD (Russia Today) - satellite frequency changes coming soon

Due to some satellite changes, some UK channels will be moving to a temporary transponder / frequency from September 30.

They will them move again on October 4 to the final destination transponder / frequency and satellite.

For RT-UK SD (Russia Today UK) , this means:
Sky users, and Freesat box users should see the changes handled automatically by set-top boxes, with no viewer action required. 
However, people with generic Free-to-Air satellite receivers will have to do a rescan at each transponder change.

RT-UK SD (Russia Today) : Frequency changes:

Until September 30:  Broadcasting as now on Eutelsat 28A, 11.623 Horizontal. Symbol Rate 27500; FEC 2/3. (txp D9S) 

From September 30 to October 10:  Broadcasting on Astra 1N, 12.401 Vertical. Symbol Rate 27500; FEC 2/3. (txp 36)

From October 4 onward: Broadcasting on Astra 2F, 12.610 Vertical.  Symbol Rate 22000; FEC 5/6.  (txp G8) [NB. Change to Symbol Rate and FEC]

"Astra-2E" UK TV satellite and Proton rocket moved to launch platform

Astra 2E News Update: 26/09/13 : Astra 2E satellite, the new UK TV satellite, and its launch vehicle, the Proton M rocket, have been rolled out onto Pad 39, in preparation for its launch on Sunday night. (see video below)

"Proton-M" rocket with the upper stage "Breeze-M" and the "Astra-2E" UK TV satellite moved to launch platform "Pad 39"

This is in preparation for the launch on the evening of Sunday 29th (Eurotime) and 30th Sept (Baikonur Cosmodrome time).

Launch time: 2138 GMT Sunday / 22.38 UK and 23.36 Central Europe

The launch will also be shown live on Astra 19 East, frequency 11.023MHz SR 22000, FEC 5/6, and will begin half an hour before the satellite launch.

Sky HD Thomson box users may be seeing a warning message on their screen, saying that they can receive from Sky a free replacement SKY+HD box at no extra cost.

Obviously this only applies to Sky users in the UK, as users in Spain will simply not be eligible to receive these boxes directly from Sky.

Why are Sky doing this?

More incorrect rumours and untruths about the future of satellite TV in Europe - mainly from some IPTV / Internet TV sellers.

Time again to clarify some of more of the incorrect rumours and untruths about the future of satellite TV in Europe and about the so called "Big Switch Off" of UK TV in Spain.

Again, as mentioned before in my blogs ( http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/08/loss-of-uk-tv-in-spain-more-misinformation-by-iptv-retailers/ ) , these "rumours" are coming from some (not all I hasten to add!) sellers of IPTV / Internet TV systems.

One such incorrect rumour that has been doing the rounds, and even spread on a Expat Radio Stations here in Spain, is that:

"All BBC, ITV, Ch4 and Ch5 TV channels etc. will disappear from the SKY platform at end of October beginning November. None of these channels will physically reach Europe mainland via Satellite."

No.
This is incorrect.
a) BBC, ITV, Ch4 and Ch5 TV channels etc will not disappear from Sky - or Freesat. These UKTV channels will still be on those Digital Satellite systems. Why would these channels be removed from the most popular Digital TV services ?

b) "None of these channels will physically reach Europe mainland via Satellite."

No.
This is incorrect.
They will reach Europe mainland via Satellite.
The beams may be more focused on the UK, but there will be satellite signal overspill into other areas, just like there has been signal overspill into Europe for the last 20 plus years

In fact, in some areas of Spain you can and should still be able to receive these UK TV channels (BBC1HD, ITV1HD, C4HD, Channel Five) on a 1m satellite dish from the first new satellite, Astra 2F, that has been operating since December 2012.

Also, the official SES Astra predicted signal footprint map (seen here http://www.satandpcguy.com/Site/astra_2e_satellite_reception_footprint_map_uk_tv_spain.php ) for the new UK TV satellites says that its beams can be received in most of France on a 60cm dish.
Last time I checked France was in mainland Europe.

So in fact these channels will physically reach Europe mainland via Satellite, contrary to what these IPTV / Internet TV sellers claim.

Some IPTV / Internet TV sellers are confusing people by misrepresenting the aforementioned official SES Astra signal footprint map.

http://www.satandpcguy.com/Site/Resources/ASTRA_2EFG_UK_ku_band_spotbeam.jpg

The map shows SES Astra's prediction of their new satellites UK beam for users with a 45cm satellite dish and 60cm satellite dish. As you can see the Astra 2E satellites UK beam should be available to more than half of France if you are using a 60cm satellite dish.

However, some IPTV / Internet TV sellers are using this as a basis for their misrepresentations, by saying anyone outside that "60cm satellite dish" contour will not be able to receive ANY signals at all.

This is incorrect.

Just because the map does not show data outside that 60cm contour, does not mean that n signals will be available in those areas.

In fact, this is the same map showing the same data for the first new satellites, Astra 2F.

And like I said before, some areas of Spain can receive this signal on a 1m satellite dish - in areas where these IPTV / Internet TV sellers say it is impossible.

Yes, some areas will be affected more than other areas. Some may find that they can still use smaller 1m and 1.25m and 1.4m satellite dishes in Spain for reception of their UK TV .

Yes, some areas, like the Costa del Sol, may have to increase the size of their satellite dishes, and use 1.8m or 2.4m satellite dishes, just like the Costa Blanca has had to use for the last 10plus years.

Until the new Astra 2E satellite has been launched, expected around the 30th September 2013 ( http://www.satandpcguy.com/Site/astra_2e_satellite_reception_testing_news_updates.php ) , tested (which will take place at another location in the skies), positioned at 28 east along with the other UK TG satellites, and is transmitting signals from that location, no-one will know for sure what reception will be like in Spain, and Europe, or what sized satellite dishes you will need to receive these signals in Spain and Europe.

Sherlock Season 3 - BBC show teaser trailer

A teaser trailer for the third series of Sherlock. Aired on BBC One August 2 2013. Although a return date for the third series has yet to be confirmed, it is expected to air in late 2013 or early 2014.

Update on Astra 2E launch date, and Russian rocket failure

Below is an update on the 2 July 2013 Russian Federal Proton M/Block DM-03 GLONASS mission failure.

Russian Investigation and FROB Status

The Russian State Commission has completed its review of the Roscosmos Commission findings. A translated summary of the findings is expected to be provided to ILS on Saturday, August 3.

The summary includes information pertaining to the improper installation of the three yaw angular rate sensors located on the Proton launch vehicle and details that the premature Loss of Contact (LOC) of the electrical/pneumatic launch pad interface was not a contributing factor to the failure.

An official ILS/KhSC public release of the Russian State Commission findings based on the summary information provided will follow, along with a schedule for the upcoming Failure Review Oversight Board (FRO.

Based on the progress to date, it is expected that the Failure Review Oversight Board (FRO will begin on August 9 and will tentatively conclude by August 16.

Astra 2E Campaign Status, Return to Flight and Proton Manifest

The Astra 2E team will resume campaign operations after the Russian State Commission and ILS FROB complete the required work on root cause and required corrective actions and all parties agree to re-start the campaign.

The schedule for the return to flight and subsequent missions will be determined once the Russian State Commission and ILS FROB complete their efforts and the required corrective actions have been implemented. A public release will be issued at that time.

This is a result of the rocket failure early in July, which delayed the launch of the new UK TV satellite Astra 2E ( http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/07/astra-2e-could-the-launch-be-delayed-after-rocket-launch-failure-at-baikonur/ )
