Analog Signals From 19.2E Stopping April 30th
 

J G Miller :
Do you know why Eins Festival HD is (or maybe now "was")
on a continuous demonstration loop and why
it does not carry the Eins Festival programs?

No idea why it's still called that.

Einsfestival, EinsExtra & EinsPlus are due to get their HD channel in
2014, as are MDR, hr & rbb.

Incidentally are you familiar with King Of Sat which makes it
easy to find FTA stations and which audio services they carry?

So that's basically no then. Ah well, let's look at the bright side -
it seems that after April I will have more free time, and won't be
wearing out the mute buttons on my TV remotes to avoid the nosiest
adverts on TV.

OF course the big question is, when the analog services on Astra 19,2 East
are shutdown, will their transponders be re-used for DVB-s/s2?

And/or will the English appear on any of the free digital
transmissions, which I very much doubt.

TV and radio stations
may be moved on to these transponders?

6 Transponders will contain German HD programmes.
The regional stations SWR, BR, NDR, WDR with their local subvariantes
will be in HD. 3sat, KiKa, Phoenix, ZDFinfo, neo & kultur are also
getting a HD channel.
Das Erste HD, ZDF HD, and arte HD are moving.
A lot of retuning to be done.

I just hope that they don't encrypt any new HD channels

You could use your new free time to learn German ;) ;)

WDR did at one time show some old movies as VO (version originale)
with the English soundtrack rather than a dubbed version.

Also, Arte (France) on 19,2 East has recently been shewing a
number of recent UKofGB&NI movies with English soundtrack.

Yes.

But why are some of their channels having to wait until 2014 for HD
versions (e.g. EinsFestival HD which is is just showing a Barker loop,
so it isn't as though it's waiting for available bandwidth)

Anyone pasting that into Google Language may get completely the wrong
result. Quote:

"The programs of the ARD will be encrypted and transmitted
without additional costs."

When this should read:

The programmes of the ARD will in principle *not* be encrypted
and transmitted without additional costs.

Whereas Babel Fish gives a more accurate translation

The programs of the pool of broadcasting corporations are radiated
in principle unencrypted and without additional costs.

If when using Google Translate, one inserts a comma after "unverschlüsselt",
the translated meaning changes from "will" to "will not", so best advice
is to use Babel Fish rather than Google translate which will probably be
storing all of your translations in its now single database for future
marketing purposes.

Actually, we had to do a non-science subject at 6th Form College (as
we'd call it now) for one hour a week, and German was the least bad
choice. Can't remember much of it though.

I suspect 60+ is too old to be learning languages anyway, but if I was
going to try, I'd either look to improve my spoken French, take up
Russian again (which I did for a year at school before leaving to
change to science subjects), or else Scots Gaelic.

I'm just as happy listening to music if I can't find anything to
watch.

Hardly surprising -- if you do not use it you forget it.
But if you were to immerse yourself by eg watching lots of
German TV (with subtitles) you would soon start to pick up
the language again.

Not true at all, unless you are going senile, and there is
no evidence of that. ;)
