And now the news:
---------- Sky tests go bananas!
Sky Digital is now occupying twelve transponders on Astra 1D, with the
Sky test card in PAL taking up another. Sky's contract with Astra allows
them fourteen transponders. The only one remaining to be activated for
Sky is transponder 16, 12.012 V. Today, Sky are conducting tests on four
new transponders. There is no television - no encrypted TV signal in
fact, but the EPG and data streams for the interactive and NVOD services
seem to be being tested. Here are the new frequencies now being used by
Sky Digital:
11.876 H
11.895 V
11.954 H
11.973 V
