So ITV1 starts of with StarWars 2 tonight.. |
|
|
Already recorded starwars2 from Prosieben I think it was, with German
voices... Now I see on www.itv.com that it is exactly 90 minutes.
That leaves little space for any commercials.
Curious if it was cut up, and on how the video quality will be (bandwidth).
Prosieben has no problem to make a > 2 hour movie out of 90 minutes, as they
throw in several 10 minute commercial breaks...
So if it is not cut up, but bad video quality then I can put the English audio
under the German video.....
LOL
Programmed the recording timer.

It is actually 90 minutes, from 21:00, then a 30 minute break for the news
from 22:30 to 23:00 then back to the film again until just after midnight.

I did a scan with my sat-receiver (humax F1-5000 FTA-only) to the
ITV-channels. It found all of them, but no teletext?
Is that normal?
The ITV channels have never carried teletext on D-SAT; they have got |
subtitles but not on p888 (unlike the BBC/Ch4/Ch5 who have); the
subtitles are received on my Technomate receiver.
ITV News used to have p.100 and a few others with one simple message
page as if they were thinking about providing teletext but even those
have gone now.

ITV here on the analog cable (which IIRC they take from the terrestial
PAL-transmittors in Dover, hence meredian South-East) does have teletext.
Teletext is no longer broadcast on Astra 28.2, except for a limited Ceefax |
service on the BBC. It has been replaced by another form of digital text
information service that can only be accessed by a Sky Digibox.
Interesting that you get ITV on cable. Here in Wallonie, the only UK
channels we get are BBC 1 & 2.

The bandwitdh and quality is quite poor. ITV does not transmitt in SDTV but
uses 75% of normal SDTV resolution.
Videobitrate is normally around 2-3Mbit/s. |

Eurosport, Euronews, CNN and CNBC have full analogue text services and
some Sky channels also carry analogue text.

Well, I do have a limited EPG (the current show and the next one). I
should check if I get a subtitle-track. (subtitles do seam to work OK on
some channels).

Another advantage of living on the coast. :-) |
We even used to have Channel 4 for a couple of years but they replaced
it for one of these music-channels. :-(
It would be nice to have Channel 4 again but as they are not on astra 2D
(they do have a transponder on 2D but that's not enough to suit all of
their channels), I will not hold my breath.

Never mind the apology. Please check your facts. A quick glance on
lyngsat or kingofsat shows teletext stream IDs on 28e.
Some of them are quite useful (including some of the football pages on
Sky News) but many of them aren't worth much: BBC's Astra Ceefax is a
poor shadow of the celebrated 30-year-old service and especially
shameful when you realise BBC World at 13e and 1w has Ceefax news
pages. BBCi serves a different audience: put Ceefax back on Astra!

A pretty graceless response to an apology. What does minimal politeness cost
you?
If you treated people face to face as you do here, you'd go around with a
permanent and well deserved bloody nose.

And on top of that the presence of teletext PIDs means NOTHING.
The teletext pids can be, and indeed are, on for example ITV2, totally
empty:
setting PIDS for program number 10070 (0x2756):
video_pid=2314 (0x90a)
found 2 audio channels, pid: 2315 (0x90b) 2363 (0x93b)
selected_audio_pid=2315 (0x90b) language=eng
no ac3 pid found
teletext_pid=2317 (0x90d) |
