Thumbs up Five more free HD channels
Since the 10th of December there are five new freesat/freeview HD channels...well, in reality they are not new, but the HD version of the existing BBC Three, BBC Four, BBC News, CBBC and Cbeebies.

It will be interesting to see whether BBC will reduce the quality of the existing BBC one HD and BBC Two HD as BBC Four HD and CBBC HD are now all squeezed in the same transponder , however it is fair to say that the transponder is a good 44.5Mbps and at the moment there are "only" 5 HD channels + one hidden SD, but some gotta give...

Yes indeed!

I was trying to get my setup retuned for this over the weekend, but only managed part of the process before the family demanded the TV!

It reminded me what a shame it is that ScanChannelsBDA doesn't play nicely with the HD muxes.

If you're using DVB-T, unfortunately I cannot help you, however if you're using DVB-S, here some help:

BBC4 and CBBC transmit in different windows, never at the same time, so only really one extra on that transponder.

Checked this out, seems like BBC4 on Freeview is on a new HD Mux, which will be lower power and will be available "sometime in 2014" on Pontop Pike. Some people will need new aerials to pick it up.

Good find, February for Pontop Pike. Nice that they gave us BBC3 first, so we can watch "Shag, Marry, Avoid" in HD... :/
