uktv chanensl tested on xntl for over a year so who knows it normallly tested between 7day and 12 weeks but teh occassionaly one tests longer sometime they forget to remove it

[LEE1]

are we likley to get any of tne missing channels on xtw side tomorrow like motors tv as was going to be sorted by end of jan or is going off exntl side

[Andrewcrawford23]

the goign by end of janaury was jsut a rough guess, they might extend teh time but it most likely most channel will go

Absolute rubbish. The quality of picture depends on the quality of the encoding and the bitrate allocated to the encoder doing the job.
The frequency of the transport stream carrying a particular channel bears no relation to picture quality.
Given your philosophy Andrew, Skys pics would be pants, even their L band frequency signals from the LNB are generally well above Virgins frequencies. Their actual carrier frequencies are more than ten times higher, twenty times if you consider the uplink frequencies.

Thats actually quite true...

Frequencies scan for channels, not quality... Were in the digital era now! :P

Going to check my box for HD! :P

NO itv hd, Although I dont have that frequency on my box.

I tried the nearest one to it, and had the same channel line up.
