New BBC HD Channels planned

[ian_j]

Has anyone got BBC4 HD showing up on their EPG yet?

 

[Brian]

Yes, it has been showing in my EPG since Tuesday.

You need to scroll forward to 10th Dec to see programme info as that is the date the channel goes 'live'.

 

[Ezra Pound]

In some areas the COM7 Mux. is not on-air so the EPG doesn't have an entry for any of the channels it will contain e.g.

CBeebies HD
BBC FOUR HD
BBC News HD
Al Jazeera HD
Channel 4+1 HD
4seven HD

 

[ian_j]

I had to manually tune channel 33 to get BBC4 HD and BBC News HD.

4seven HD

I don't think that the last two are confirmed yet, and do not currently have placeholders in the EPG.

An auto-tune would have also found them.

 

[MikeSh]

When I retuned the other day and included Com 7 (on Winter Hill) I got:
CBBC HD
CBeebies HD
BBC THREE HD
BBC FOUR HD
BBC News HD
Al Jazeera Eng HD

I don't appear to have C4+1 HD or 4Seven HD.

As of now, looking at the EPG data in web-if, Al Jazeera is already up and the five BBC channels all start on 10th Dec. The news and CBs begin am with BBC3 & 4 taking over from the CBs at 1900 for the night shift.

 

[Brian]

I don't appear to have C4+1 HD or 4Seven HD.

You won't have, as they have not yet been confirmed.

Sorry for the confusion, I don't have any of the channels listed in #64 yet (Central Region), I got the list from here http://www.terrestrialtv.co.uk/dtt.cgi settings need to be, Show = Everything, Sort By = Mux, ARQ C = {ticked} >> List

 

[Black Hole]

According to the DigitalUK Coverage Checker, Wenvoe gets COM7 (channel 31) on 10th December and L-CDF (channel 51) some time in 2014. Meanwhile Mendip doesn't specify when COM7 (channel 33) comes on line (some time in 2014 again), and no mention of L-CDF so I guess that's specific to Wales.

There's no signal I can detect on channel 31 yet.

That site is rubbish. Sheffield still not there!

Nothing between 105 and 200 on my EPG. (Porn channels excluded.)

 

[Brian]

Did you get in touch to let them know?

 

[Deleted member 473]

Just looked at the better site

http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=SK324870&PGSTART=150

and we don't get those extra channels until July 2014.

 

[MikeSh]

and we don't get those extra channels until July 2014.

So we might get, ooh, 8 months without another b****y retune

We can only hope!

 

[Scuttlebroom]

Has anyone else lost the new HD channels in both Webif EPG and the RS EPG after 19:00hrs on Friday 13th Dec?

 

[Brian]

I have just checked the RS EPG, and there is only details for Al Jazeera Eng HD after 19:00hrs on Friday 13th Dec.

Edit: It seems to be similar with the webif EPG on one of my boxes.

The following transmitters are due to get COM7 shortly:

• Rowridge: 4th March (UHF Ch31)
• Bilsdale: 4th March (UHF Ch31)
• Hannington: 18th March (UHF Ch32)

 

[Green Armchair]

We're on Rowridge, but no sign of the new HD (COM7) channels yet. I have retuned my TV.
