Those of you out there with a Skystar 2 card should try the HD5 promo on Astra 1D at 23.5E.

It carries some different HD material to the other HD promo channels as far as I can tell.

It's free-to-air except for the following times, when it's encrypted for World Cup testing:

12:00 - 13:00
14:00 - 15:00
16:00 - 17:00

It's in MPEG-2 and can be found at 10758, V, 22000, 7/8. It's on the stronger 'DV' beam.

I'm using the Win2000 V-Cyberlink A-InterVideo codecs in MyTheatre V2.76 with perfect AV.

Thanks for that info Muppet.

I have it working very smoothly on my SS2 card using Skyview and the auto graph.

Skyview seems to work, putting very little strain on the PC CPU. ( I have an Athlon XP 2400+) I also get the 19.2 Astra HD channel working well with Skyview. If I use ProgDVB the piccy breaks up occassionally.
