BBC Red Button HD to return to Freesat

Further to this weeks removal from Freesat of the BBC Red Button HD service (http://satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/06/bbc-hd-red-button-removed-from-satellite ) it has been confirmed that this Red Button Service will return to Freesat "sometime next week". The BBC Red Button HD service will be available on Freesat channel 980. There are three Standard Definition Red Button Services, available on Freesat channels 981, 982, 983. The BBC Red Button HD service will not be available on Sky HD receivers, due to technical difficulties between the BBC and Sky. The three SD services will be available on Sky boxes, via the Red Button on a BBC channel.

Astra 2E : New UK TV Satellites arrives at launch site

The second new UK TV satellite, Astra 2E, arrived this week at the launch site, in Baikonur, Kazakhstan.

It will under go various checks and preps, before its scheduled launch on the 19th July 2013. Latest Astra 2E news at : http://www.satandpcguy.com/Site/astra_2e_satellite_reception_testing_news_updates.php

Murdoch / News Corp to buy Spains Canal+ satellite TV service from Prisa TV?

Grupo Prisa is in talks with Telefónica to sell a stake in satellite broadcaster Digital Plus for as much as €900m.

Prisa owns 56 per cent of Digital Plus / Canal+, the largest pay TV operator in Spain by subscribers.

Telefónica, which itself owns 22 per cent of Digital Plus, is interested in buying Prisa’s stake in an effort to offer so-called triple and quad-play bundles of internet, fixed line, mobile and pay TV to its clients.

Digital Plus holds some of the rights to broadcast Spanish football league matches.

However, people close to the process said that Telefónica appeared unwilling to pay more than €900m for the stake.

Financial reporters suggest that News Corp has already made an approach to Telefónica, without whose agreement any News Corp involvement would be a non-starter. Representatives from News Corp and BSkyB are understood to have held informal discussions with Prisa earlier this year over the Spanish media group’s pay TV operation. However these discussions are no longer active, according to people close to the situation.

Both News Corp and BSkyB declined to comment.

News Corp’s expertise gained at BSkyB and Sky Deutschand may be welcome at Prisa, which lost 28,350 satellite subscribers in the first quarter, and has seen a gradual subscriber erosion in recent quarters. It currently has 1,691,281 subscribers.


Note that if BskyB / News Corp do buy Canal+, it does not mean that UK TV channels like BBC ITV will be available on the Spanish satellite TV service. It will be operated separately to Sky TV UK, as they have done in Germany (Sky Deutschland) and Italy (Sky Italia).

BBC confirm expanded Red Button services for the summer

The BBC has confirmed plans for its Red Button service during the summer - following earlier reports about the appearance of some "test" frequencies. (http://satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/06/bbc-red-button-services-join-freesat/ )

The BBC have confirmed that the expanded Red Button service would offer HD coverage of the British F1 Grand Prix, Women’s Euros, Diamond League Athletics, Moto GP and the Confederations Cup, and Standard definition streams, will be used for Red Button coverage of Glastonbury and will also be offering coverage from Wimbledon.

BBC Red Button HD will start on 13th June 2013.
BBC Red Button SD will start on 24th June 2013.

These Red Button services will be added to the Sky Guide and Freesat Guide as actual channels - see http://satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/06/bbc-confirm-expanded-red-button-service-for-the-summer/

BBC Red Button services join Freesat

As previously mentioned ( http://satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/05/bbc-wimbledon-coverage-bbc-red-button-channels ) the BBC have been testing some new channels, or rather BBC Red Button channels.

Presumably this will be for the duration of thee summer so that they can use it for multiple matches during Wimbledon and for their Glastonbury coverage.

In the last few days two of these "BBC Red Button" channels have been added to Freesat receivers.

BBC Red Button 1 HD is now on Freesat channel 980
BBC Red Button 1 SD is now on Freesat channel 981

They are not yet available on a Sky box, but presumably they will be part of the BBC Red Button service via the Red Button Menu, as in previous years.

They can be added NOW to non SKy and non Freesat boxes using the following frequencies:

BBC Red Button 1 SD tagged as '6390' is on 10.773 H 22000
BBC Red Button 1 HD tagged as '8900' is on 11.023 H 23000 HD

In addition, the two other channels tagged as 54380 and 54381 on frequency 12.643 V, SR 27.500, FEC 2/3 and are showing a BBC test loop, and showing BBC Red Button on their programme information banner. They are still showing a BBC test loop. Will this mean more BBC Red button streams using these two channels?

Middle East English Premier League Broadcast Rights update - still no deal

Middle East football fans face missing the kick-off to the English Premier League (EPL) football in August as negotiations over broadcast rights drag on, a Dubai-based TV operator has warned.

Broadcast rights for the Middle East are still undecided, amid a deadlock over fees to air EPL games.

This means that – with just three months to go until the start of the next season – fans of teams such as Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have no idea how they will be able to watch the games in this region.
