Channel 4 HD on Astra 2

[munted101]

Can someone else confirm this for me please.

Astra2 12643H 27500 3/4
Channel ID: 54206

Is this C4HD ?

It's carrying the same EPG data as the SD version !!

[downsouth]

[Dave5118]

Nah, you won't find it there.

Astra 2A South, Transponder 5:
11797 H, SR: 29500, FEC: 3/4, Standard: DVB-S2, Modulation: QPSK
SID: 3875, VPID: 513, APID: 661, PMT: 259

It won't be able to view it on a Sly HD box, you will need a alternative HD receiver, such as the Humax 2000 HD.

Also, you may need a Sly HD card as well, not too sure about that, but it IS encrypted :redface:

[Waltwal]

[munted101]

Sorry guys, my mistake.

I gave out the info for Luxe TV.

As Dave5118 pointed out, the frq for C4HD is 11797H.

I have a Sky HD sub but cannot get it to work in my Pace using a Dragon.

[makaveli]

epg seems to be completely wrong as it is showing a film but says it should be hollyoaks

[suttons]

[munted101]

[mintywilliams]

[rolyv]

4 Mix on 12188 H 27500 28.2 e

Programmes start at 10.00 pm Each night checked last night not HD at present

Test card on before this time states
Channel 4 High Definition Coming Soon.

A s with 3875 on 11797 H 29500 a card ie free or other is needed to view.

[downsouth]

why do you need a card for this pile of **** channel? I am sick of sky strangling the growth of hd cause they want all our money.

[kennyboy]

im having trouble with the audio there seems to be a delay going thru av amp and tv bbchd is ok retail hd is ok

[Tony B2]

I have just got a Freesat (from Sky) card, but I do not have a Sky box (I have the Humax 2000, with Dragon cam). What do I need to do to activate the card?

TIA
Tony B

[satpaul]

Put it any Sky Box you must know someone

[Waltwal]

Noticed this morning 3875 is carrying CH4 program
Waltwal

[kennyboy]

there have stopped showing the films as of yesterday test card now programes start at 8.00pm at night now

[Tony B2]

I trust that there is no threat to my brother in laws card if I activate mine
in his Sly+ box. He does live in a different town so there will be a mismatch of my postal address against his dialling code - assuming that his box identifies itself during the activation process?

Or am I worrying over nothing?

TIA

I can get sound but no picture on Humax 2000, using Dragon Cam and FTA card. Does anyone know why.

Same here.

Using Predator 3.62ssty

[Dave5118]

This channel has now launched btw, does look like HD programs will be few and far between though. Only 1 film on tonight in HD, and another 1 from the 1953 on thursday afternoon.

No wonder it's been a low key launch LOL :rolleyes:

Does not work with T-Rex Super or Diablo.

Pace support for CAMS still needs work.

[pipino]

[xanadu]

Correct.

The 1035 fix was for 4:3 widescreen switching.

[pipino]

cheers for the info m8,,just 4:3 switching issue after months of waiting pppppppffff..what a bunch of useless ppl,i hope one day we can explore the usb port i´m sure like this the box will get better support ..regards

[xanadu]

cheers for the info m8,,just 4:3 switching issue after months of waiting pppppppffff..what a bunch of useless ppl,

There was a 1.034 just a week before that fixed some of the CAM issues, but it was withdrawn after people complained about the 4:3 switching.
1.035 includes the improved CAM compatibilty, but it's still not good enough.

that depens what gears you are using m8,in my part it showes full1080 HD transmission ,i think we better say what gear we are using so we can make a good list for channel4 hd compatible gears..regards

[Shahid]

Humax HDCI Firmware version 11 which cleared C4 HD for me. Hi all thoses who have not cleared c4 HD via The Dragon and latest Predator with your FTV S?y Card. I had firmware 15 and no joy. I had read that version 11 does the trick and how right it is. Version clears C4 HD. You can download the files here.
