Sky looking at IP delivery for 4K content
Sky said that it is “not ruling out” the possibility of delivering 4K content over the web in the future in a similar way to Netflix, after staging early trials filming in the ultra HD format.
Speaking at SES Ultra HD conference in London yesterday, Sky’s chief engineer of broadcast strategy, Chris Johns, said that there was “no reason” Sky couldn't launch a 4K channel now if there was compelling enough content to do so.

Sky+ HD boxes get a new search update
Sky is promising an entirely new-look search feature for its Sky+ HD boxes.
Set to arrive over the "coming months", it includes a new suggestions function which will autofill search boxes as you type.
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.

As part of the changes Sky will move its archive library of shows exclusively onto the new Entertainment Extra + pack.

ITV1 HD Granada on Freesat HD boxes
Originally posted at www.satandpcguy.com/forum
A change to the frequency for ITV1 HD Granada has meant some Freesat users may not be able to receive ITV1 HD Granada.
The solution to the loss of ITV1 HD Granada on Freesat HD boxes to simply perform a Freesat channel scan. The Freesat channel scan should pick up the new frequency parameters for ITV1 HD Granada.
ITV1 HD Granada new frequency is 10.936 V DVB-S2, SR 23.000, FEC 8/9 This change to the ITV1 HD Granada frequency means that it cannot be added manually to the Sky HD and Sky+HD boxes Other channels list.

Changes to BBC1HD and BBCHD frequencies June 2011
The BBC has changed some of the frequency parameters for its HD channels.
Frequency: 10,847MHz (vertical polarity)
Modulation: DVB-S2, QPSK
Symbol Rate: 23.0
FEC: 8/9
Changes are happening to the BBC HD channels on Astra 2D.
Sky HD users should not have any problems, as the Sky HD boxes will automatically update.
Some Freesat users may have to reset their Freesat HD boxes, or perform a Freesat scan.
Users of other "generic" HD receivers, will have to rescan the BBC HD frequency, ensuring their receivers work with the new DVBS2 transmision standard.
If you are getting the "no satellite signal" being received then a simple receiver reboot may cure the problem.
