Hi there,
I've just had to do a re install on my tv and came to find that the VIVA channel on freeview channel 57
is no longer being aired.
Could you kindly look into this for me, many thanks.
Julie

The SES/ASTRA UHD Demo channels had their service_type changed from 31 = "HEVC digital television service" to 25 = "H.264/AVC HD digital television service".

"Channel Diffs" is a comparison of AltDVB channel list files:

Channel Diffs from 18/01/2018 20:47:26 to 29/01/2018 05:34:54

Changed:

Astra UHD Demo (7400) 12441V
service_type changed from 31 to 25
provider changed from SES ASTRA to SES

Astra UHD Demo (7401) 12441V
service_type changed from 31 to 25
provider changed from SES ASTRA to SES

SES UHD Demo (7402) 12441V
service_type changed from 31 to 25

*****************

A scan of the NIT on any transponder in the ASTRA/BSkyB network gives:

networkName = ASTRA
networkID = 0020
number of multiplexes = 75

12441V is not in the ASTRA/BSkyB network so changes are not picked up in ASTRA/BSkyB Diffs.

A scan of the NIT and SDT on 12441V gives:

networkName = ASTRA
networkID = 0002
number of multiplexes = 1

12441.00 V 29500 8/9 DVB-S2 QPSK 0.25 028.2E
original_network_id = 0x0002 = 2
transport_stream_id = 0x07F6 = 2038

Astra UHD Demo 25 1CE8 0 4 1 SES
Astra UHD Demo 25 1CE9 0 4 1 SES
SES UHD Demo 25 1CEA 0 4 0 SES

Note the same networkName of ASTRA but different networkID.


12441V is in the Freesat network where it appears as:

12441.00 V 29500 8/9 DVB-S2 QPSK 0.25 028.2E
transport_stream_id = 2038 original_network_id = 2

Note Freesat UHD = Astra UHD Demo with SID 7400 = 0x1CE8


Playing back a sample of Astra UHD Demo in mpc-hc, file-properties gives:
