Hi Folks,
Went to watch channel4 HD on freesat last night and got no signal message ( using media portal and Nova-S2 sat card) ,
checked a few other freeast channels and they were missing too.
Some freesat channels still work but a lot are not is anyone else having problems ?

Thanks in advance

Working ok here using a TBS 6981 card in MP.

Have you tried doing a re-scan and update sat list with the "enable channel movement detection" ticked?

pretty sure there was a planned outage for ch4hd one night.

Yep tried that already , got 700+ channel in the scan, removed all non free
then removed all the other carp ones ...... re-scan with ECMD ticked just meant
it created duplicates of original ones ... and still no ch4 HD

The transponder that Channel 4 HD is on changed from DVB-S2 to DVB-S a few days ago so you might need manually retune on an HTPC (depending on the software you're using). The transponder details are listed here:

Also, a load of Freesat channels moved from the Astra 2D satellite to Astra 1N but they kept all the transponder information the same so it shouldn't affect tuning. Maybe try a retune anyway? In MediaPortal, make sure to click "Update satellite list" or "Update transponder list" or whatever the button is called before scanning.

hmmm tried mucking about and editing the tuning details without sucess
Can anyone who has a working tuneable CH4 HD and uses media portal
please pull up the channel details and do a screen capture or note
down the details and post back with them please
I did a wipe and complete re-scan other HD channels are fine apart from CH4 HD
