I read somewhere that the BBC int. channels were only available to Sky
digibox users, so my Skystar 2 won't pick them up.
But, they must be available on a transponder on Astra 2d somewhere...can
anyone give frequencies for these?

Thanx

Does anyone know if the Humax HDCI-2000 can be configured to get these?

I dont think so. The BBCi channels that transmits the world cup and
wimbledon is not signalled
as TV services but data services(its probably done to hide them from non Sky
boxes). This means
that most receivers will not find the services. Those who do store them as
seven channels
from "STREAM-0" to "STREAM-6".

If the the receiver supports adding channels with manually PIDs or
serviceID/ProgID then the details on
http://www.lyngsat.com/28east.html can be used. Look at frequency 124441V.

Btw, the BBCi services that transmit world cup and wimbledon is NOT on
Astra2D but on
Astra2B southbeam and got far better European coverage.

My Echostar AD3000IP VA receiver does that. I was turning in all the
FTA stations on Astra 2 only a few days ago where I thought those
STREAM-? stations looked odd.

Also I see that there are indeed a lot of FTA stations on Astra 2
these days. It seems that ITV Digital going bankrupt was useful after
all when the following FreeView service was FTA. So Sky has now done
their own version to the benefit of all us satellite viewers.

Too bad they never realised the popularity of FTA when they were first
starting out, but that is profit for you.

You may be able to receive the pictures, but they will resolve as two
or more seperate ones onscreen. To get the full effect you need a
digibox, which has the software to present the data correctly.

As does my Technomate DAPCI.

Stream 0 shows you what is one the other streams.
They only show a useful picture during events such as Wimbledon, Glastonbury
etc.
