Well you can see which stations are broadcast FTA from
Eutelsat Eurobird 1 at 28,5 28.5°East at

http://www.lyngsat.COM/eb1.html

some of which are paying to appear on the Freesat EPG,
eg CBS Action, CBS Drama, CBS Reality, Horror Channel,
and now, in addition, C4 HD.

When in Freesat mode the box reports the frequency as 12606

MythTV under linux lists found C4HD during a full scan, and lists the
transponder as follows

mysql SELECT frequency,polarity,symbolrate,modulation,mod_sys,f ec
FROM dtv_multiplex
WHERE mplexid=70;

+-----------+----------+------------+------------+---------+------+
| frequency | polarity | symbolrate | modulation | mod_sys | fec |
+-----------+----------+------------+------------+---------+------+
| 12606650 | v | 27500000 | qpsk | DVB-S2 | 3/4 |
+-----------+----------+------------+------------+---------+------+

so that might explain the rounding between 12606 and 12607 MHz



Now this may seem a thick question but I thought all Freesat signals came/come from the Astra2 cluster. If so why does C4HD appear
to come from Eurobird 1?

Because it *does* come from Eurobird 1.
As the Freesat EPG also comes from Eurobird, and it's the EPG that makes Freesat Freesat,
it could be said that Eurobird is more important to Freesat than Astra.

Because some Freesat and Sky platform channels use Eurobird, which being at
28.5E is as near as dammit to the Astra cluster at 28.2E to all intents and
purposes. In fact Freesat's EPG data is carried on Eurobird.

Claims which?

If you are talking about C4 HD then it is clearly listed on that
page in light green (HD/clear) as being

transponder : F4L

transmission : DVB-s2
modulation : QSPK
encoding : MPEG-4

frequency : 12,607 GHz
polarisation : V

symbol rate : 27500
fec : 3/4

service id : 55300
video pid : 2305
audio pid : 2306 2307


Methinks you are looking at the wrong entry. ;)

Aha, 12,224 GHz has an entry for NHK World HD which is
DVB-s MPEG-4.

Why do you think that is incorrect?

That's NHK World TV HD.

Ooops, I had remembered the 12606 frequency from the NHK thread and then
forgot this thread had rambled onto C4HD

I think that's quite common.

But Dave will soon have shown all the programs it has at least 50 times,
so its appeal will fade.

I'm sure it's already passed the 100 mark by now.
