I was just pointing it out.

A good observation, although I was replying to Andrew

I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a dig or not. You can never tell on this site. Smile

And in that respect, I did note that it was a test transmission - obviously the time when such things are sorted out. But hey ho.

Worryingly the programmes I've seen are all upscaled.

That is rather irritating especially as 162 is vacant and could be an ideal spot. I could see they might not want to change the channel number though...

It's possible that they've put BBC Three on 163 and BBC Four on 164 in order to put BBC One on 161 and BBC Two on 162.

And just like that! BBC Two HD is indeed moving to 162 from 10th December.

BBC Parliament is also moving next to BBC News HD. About time really, you would have thought they'd have moved it from 612 when BBC News moved from 610 or 611 to 601.

Strange they haven't mentioned the new channels there. Unless that's been done separately.

Would be good to have the HD channels swapped with their SD positions soon.

According to Cable Forum, the post did include details on the new channel launches on Tuesday but they were later edited out.

Off Air Recording of the HD Test Card Sequence as transmitted on Astra recently. Might be useful for some.

Weird how they seem to have cut it badly from the BBC HD preview loop - including a second or so from the Ice Cream Van ident. You'd have thought they'd have cut all that off really, wouldn't you?
