BBC1 HD On Irish EPG

TCP/IP

Hi All,

Quick one for you. I was browsing through my Sky HD EPG during the week and low and behold BBC1 HD was there I showed it to the wife and she watch stuff on it that evening. I checked that I was using the Irish EPG as normal and all the other channels were in place and working. Looked last night and it was gone. Did anybody else notice it.

Thx

nope , what channel number was it on ?

It was on 143 and BBC HD was on 144 if I remember correctly. Kicking myself I did not take a pic.

That doesn't make much sense.
BBC HD is on 143.
DMAX is on 144.
There is no BBC 1 HD on the Irish EPG.

I can't understand how the BBC would be on 144 if that is DMAX's slot?

In the UK however, BBC 1 HD is on 143, and BBC HD is on 169.

I know it does not make sense but it was there for an evening. Showed it to the wife to make sure I was not going crazy. But as I said all back to normal again and only have BBC HD.

I saw BBC1 HD on the Irish EPG last night. It will be on 143 from 1st February according to Sky info.

Why are you so sure ? Do you have inside info ? I don't see any reason why not. They eventually gave us BBC HD and while I wasn't expecting it anytime soon, I think BBC1 HD will be on Irish EPG at some stage.

I never said it was appearing on the Irish EPG. I was pointing out where BBC HD would go if BBC One HD did appear.

The next channel number nearest to BBC1,BBC2 and BBC HD which isn't currently being used is 153 on the Irish EPG.

I am not bothered really. BBC One HD and BBC HD are numbers 8 and 9 on the stb at home.

I don't bother with numbers on my Media PC. it's nice Favorites by Category. DVB Viewer works good with IR remote.

Update: Forget 153, Sky 3+1 will be on it tomorrow on the Irish Epg. Only option might be, put BBC1 HD on 143 and move BBC HD to 169 ( currently free on Irish Epg ), same as UK Epg where BBC HD is on 169. Don't hold your breath though !

Yes I can see us getting bbc1HD for the Olympics for sure!

Pity we cant get it in time for the Formula 1 coverage to allow recording it in Hd if it's on the bbc1 channel ......

Once off purchase of a "Freesat HD" PVR is less than what many pay in sub to Sky every year. You can connect it to the two spare connections on the Quad LNB.

Problem solved.

all very good in theory watty but as you said in previous threads you cant get saorview too and uk tv on one box and record. until one comes along sky will always attract more people to it.

You can get BBC1 HD on "other channels" with sky . you cannot record on it though.

cartman51773

yes i know that but useless if you cant record it.

How long will it be before BBC HD becomes BBC2 HD?

It shows mostly BBC 2 content anyhow.

I wouldnt hold your breath on getting BBC 1 HD, CH4 HD has been going longer and we still cant get that!

Might just give us BBC 1 HD if BBC HD changes to BBC 2 HD.

There's no serious talk of this happening, what would happen to the BBC3 and BBC4 programs it shows.

There on about closing these channels down due to lack of funds.

The BBC Trust is saying that and it would be a pity if they do close them.

cartman51773

your right BBC HD shows alot of BBC 2 programmes. its such a pity we will never see BBC one HD for a long long time.
