Flysat have Fox Life reported in the clear on
12543 H
27500
3/4

in English & French. Can anyone confirm?

System · 20/01/06 - 13:11

Yes - It appeared yesterday with a coded ident. (Can't remember what it was, as I edited the Name straight away.)

Shows as Scrambled, but is actually clear. Didn't realise there was also an English language option - it being 5W, I never thought to check - will do so now and report back.

[Deleted User] · 20/01/06 - 13:18

Vpid should be 1131 for English. It may well only be temorarily fta as MCM Belgium seems to have dropped its encryption as well.

System · 20/01/06 - 13:19

Ok - The ID was GCPE2. The Scrambled tag has now gone, but so has the Video and Audio - Shows full signal plus PIDs, but currently off air. It is definitely Fox Life, as I watched it for 5 mins at about 09.00 this morning and it had their logo on screen.

When I scanned the TP, I also got a Channel ident GCPE1, which also claims to be scrambled, but is actually showing clear with a Globecast Test Card.

Hope this helps.

System · 20/01/06 - 13:26

Just checked displayed PIDs: SID and VPID 1122 APID (French) 1132 APID (presumed English) 1143 - which is not what flysat says. Then again, flysat's link takes you to the Atlantic Bird 2 listings, not AB3!

Indeed it was there yesterday early evening.

AdrianBelgium · 21/01/06 - 01:13

Sorry to burst the bubble BUT GCPE2 Is A FEED channel !

So its was only a test...or back up feed / link for Fox Life

Cheers

Belgium...

But is open on D+ and Tv Cabo !

Last evening, the Fox Life saga took another turn: GCPE2 has gone and there are now two Fox Life channels, both with either French or English Audio labelled Fox Life M VPID 5123 APID 5133 and Fox Life B VPID 5124 APID 5134.

They are still there now.

AdrianBelgium · 21/01/06 - 14:29

"Maybe " the normal lin,ks gor fox france are down ?....

[Deleted User] · 21/01/06 - 14:58

remlap · 21/01/06 - 16:25

Ive got both and FOX Life seems to have a movie with Brent Spiner in it.

AdrianBelgium · 23/01/06 - 15:11

Hi !

Ok I checked what is happening... This "feed" is for BE TV ( a Belgium French cable provider ).

However All Sat info sites list that it has French and English A pid... BUT I can only receive the French language... BOTH A pid are broadcasting French...

Has any one else who CAN receive this sat vonfirm this ?...

Other Fox as in D + and Tv Cabo ( which are open !!! ) have original language...

Cheers

Adrian: See my Post (#8) - Each of the two versions definitely has an English Language Audio option.

The APIDs for the English sound track are 5143 or 5144.

Just double checked for you and can confirm all is well!

AdrianBelgium · 23/01/06 - 18:20

Yes, Adrian - several times! There is no problem at all. Do you have a "Language" button on your Remote Control? If so, there are two Languages available (French and English) as mentioned before.

I don't believe anyone elde has the same difficulty - perhaps it's your Dreambox.....?

steviem · 24/01/06 - 10:51

I can confirm i am having the same problem on my technomate, soundtrack 2 is now silent on both foxlife channels.

System · 24/01/06 - 11:00

Yes, you are right - absolutely silent now (but it's an English Language silence!

)

It went off about 17.00z yesterday after the end of a Film (Original language English, with French or English soundtrack)

System · 24/01/06 - 12:52

The English Language soundtrack has been there on and off over the past few days - Nothing to do with Scrambling.

System · 24/01/06 - 16:49

............Indeed, it was back again this afternoon, so your theory is wrong, Adrian.

I do agree that it is all a bit strange, though.

Hey there!
