    According to a post on DS quoting a link that appears to be so busy that I can’t follow it, the BBC-HD transponder is going S2. To accommodate Wimbledon in 3D maybe :-)

    It’s all true :-)

    EDIT

    Feel sorry for the viewers with DVB-S1 kit :|

    When will 1.00.15 pick this up 03:00 on the 7th?

    I guess so. Pleased all I have to do is move my local BBC region to 101. Or maybe the advice to switch off and on will do as the transponder remains the same but the SR is different. Interesting to find out. This will sort out the Harvard boxes that purport to be S2 compliant but cannot get CH4-HD

    Out of interest did a full non-freesat channel scan. The good news is that all the HD DVB-S2 channels are now in the database as both BBC-HD, BBC1-HD and CH4-HD were added.

    Barry presumably you can’t view BBC1-HD on the V1.00.13 unit ?.

    The OTA firmwares for the Foxsat’s went out just at the right time then :-)

    It would appear so :-)

    A bit sad keeping one on V13, and a timer socket to dump power each night so it does not update :D

    Still no pop up, so no BBC1 HD or BBC HD as yet on V13 box…will keep this going as long as possible.

    Yes Graham have seen the posts.

    I have never understood why users are wishing their lives away, 30/40 seconds to boot up and/or download the EPG, hardly an inconvenience 🙄
