Is this a well known fact? - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Viewing on 13E with a TM1500c+ (patched) I can get the PPV cinema channels. When I switch on the following day the channels are unavailable, however, if I flip through the channels until I get to a certain one I am told to "please wait", the channel then becomes available and so does all the cinema channels. What causes this?

I think you are referring to the channels on the TPS package.

If so then yes, the fact is well known. Tuning into any channel on 10873V on 13E will 'kick in' the AU (Auto update) on all the TPS channels.

Are the channels you refer to here:-

TPS on Hot Bird 6/7A at 13.0°E - LyngSat

Yes it is a well known fact. But we don't mind - as someone reading this may not be aware of it.

Tip. (I tend to use Sci-Fi channel). If you organise your Multivision channels with Sci-Fi at top of list, it makes updating easier.

That puts me in the "Learn something new everyday" bracket. Why does it not work when you select the movie channel?

Because the update signal comes down the transponder frequency already mentioned.

And I use Equidia, just because it's the first one I came accross. I have placed it next to the Multivision channels in the EPG.

Thats useful info, thanks. Is there any card worth buying that will enable me to receive decent stuff films or sport etc.

Hi,
Have a look to see what is on DigitalB on 16E, if you can receive that sat OK.

DigitAlb on Eutelsat W2 at 16.0°E - LyngSat

I think the sports package is about £150, and the rest of it is about the same
