BBC HD to BBC TWO HD

[Ezra Pound]

I see they have officially announced the change over from BBC HD to BBC TWO HD and have also confirmined that a re-tune will not be required

 

[Black Hole]

That's amusing. No retune required, unless you want the EPG listing to show "BBC TWO HD" instead of remaining as "BBC HD".

How do you know it won't update dynamically?
I tried editing the database and then rebooted and it changed back.
We will see...

I don't think it will update automatically, but as it's just a name change, It won't effect anything

Ezra, did you mean to post this in the Freesat forum?

It doesn't. We've had name changes (and LCN re-allocations) before, the service continues unaffected on the old parameters until you retune (a scan of the relevant mux is sufficient). My TV, on the other hand, somehow updates as it goes along. Whether it does a surreptitious retune in the background I have never investigated.

Oops, sorry I meant to put it under Freeview, could you move it please

OK, moved.

 

[ChrisDaniels]

The epg WILL auto update. Just like it did for the itv changes.

 

[Black Hole]

What do you mean?

 

[ChrisDaniels]

The channel name will auto update just like it did for itv when they changed their names for itv1 and itv1+1.

 

[Black Hole]

You reckon? OK, we'll see.

It is happening on Freesat too. But it will definitely rename automatically there though.

So how did it do it for me then as mentioned in my previous post?
Oh and it's "affect" not "effect".

 

[af123]

It will affect RS... although I have a plan for that and will post a thread shortly.

 

[gomezz]

RS?

 

[Ezra Pound]

Remote Schedule server?

RS?

This thread was moved from the Foxsat forum.

 

[af123]

RS?

Remote Scheduling Server for the Custom Firmware, yes. Should have checked the forum, sorry.

I asked the question on Digitaluk and got this answer back - not very - suggests they don't know either - but refers to HD channels plural - is there more than BBC2 HD being launched?

Prior to the launch of the new HD channels, you will be advised by on screen messages of what action you will need to take (if any) to receive them.
