ABC News 24 Feeds

[sba-fta]

Hello All;

I don't know if the master feed will be on C or Ku-band, so I'm posting here. I know it's going to be on FoxTel but am wondering if one can find it on the regular satellites.

If one does, please post the signal parameters here. Could someone check Intelsats 2, 5, and 8 for where Australia Network is located. Might be a remote possibility there.

Thank you for your support.

sba-fta The tp on Optus D3 for 'ABC News 24 HD' now has a '$' sign against it. The audio for the promo has gone.
Optus D1 is used for engineering back up for all ABC and SBS px's. Currently there is no 'ABC News 24 HD' on either IS5 or IS8

Cheers

I don't have a HD box but there is something on D1 12513H Sr14312 V516 A8191 PCR2307 - no sound which is unusual because there was when it was ABC HD.

I've scanned D1 with my old Humax and have 5 positions for ABC news.

12515-H-14302 7/8
12515-H-14294 7/8
12533-H-14294 7/8
12578-H-14294 7/8
12613-H-14294 7/8

All are Clear/unencrypted but no sound or pictures.

What's happening to ABC HD?

We are changing our HD channel in preparation for the launch of our new 24 hour news channel. This first stage of this change is to replace the HD channel with a SD (standard definition) broadcast of ABC1 (NSW). The second change will occur when ABC News 24 launches, at which time the ABC1 HD channel will be taken off air.
Why will the HD channel be removed?

The ABC only has a specific amount of digital spectrum in which to broadcast all its services. To launch ABC News 24, we need the spectrum currently being used to broadcast our ABC1 HD channel. To continue to watch ABC1 once ABC News 24 starts, please switch to channel 2 or 21 if you are watching free-to-air television or channel 102 for Foxtel and Austar.
Does this mean that ABC will not broadcast anything in HD?

ABC News 24 will be broadcast in HD. All other channels (ABC1, ABC2, ABC3) will be broadcast in SD (standard definition).
How will I find ABC News 24?

When it launches, ABC News 24 can be found on channel 24. If you are watching through Foxtel it will be channel 202 and if you subscribe through Austar, it will be channel 24. Optus viewers will not be able to access ABC News 24, as their service does not offer HD.
