    Channel 4 HD on Astra 2

    Can someone else confirm this for me please.

    Astra2 12643H 27500 3/4
    Channel ID: 54206

    Is this C4HD ?

    It's carrying the same EPG data as the SD version !!

    Nah, you won't find it there.

    Info, courtesy of Absract.

    Astra 2A South, Transponder 5:
    11797 H, SR: 29500, FEC: 3/4, Standard: DVB-S2, Modulation: QPSK
    SID: 3875, VPID: 513, APID: 661, PMT: 259

    Video: H.264 @ 18-20 Mbps VBR
    Audio: AC3 @ 384 Kbps CBR

    It won't be able to view it on a Sly HD box, you will need a alternative HD receiver, such as the Humax 2000 HD.

    Also, you may need a Sly HD card as well, not too sure about that, but it IS encrypted

    That's 'Luxe HD' which is broadcasting FTA.

    Sorry guys, my mistake.

    I gave out the info for Luxe TV.

    As Dave5118 pointed out, the frq for C4HD is 11797H.

    I have a Sky HD sub but cannot get it to work in my Pace using a Dragon.
