Default Japanese 'NHKWORLD' HD channel 209 on Freesat

A recent retune has added an unexpected new HD channel: NHKWORLD - as Channel
209 - which appears to be (after a few quick glimpses) a Japanese version of a
cross between BBC World News and CNN News.

Is it some kind of experimental channel?

No. NHK is Japan's main National broadcast organisation.

It's old news to be honest. Content: ok; picture quality: first class.

Indeed.

On HD STBs it appears at 209 instead of the SD version of NHKWORLD which
appears on SD STBs.

their ' imagine nation ' show is interesting if you like anime and video
games - even if the presenters talk in freaky ( not japanese or english
) accents.

This HD channel wasn't there after I retuned to pick up CH4 HD a few weeks ago.

Correct. The HD version of NHKWORLD was not put into the EPG until after
CH4 HD arrived. Before that Ch 209 was NHKWORLD SD only.

Just seen this thread. Should I be able to find this channel on SD
Freeview from Tacolneston? I recently did a re-scan, and it didn't show
up.
