Service type updated:

LCN		Service Name	Multiplex	SID
46		That's TV 3	D3&4 (PSB2)	8700

- The service type has been updated from type 1 - digital television service to type 22 - advanced codec SD digital television service.

A belated update following the change from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 codecs which were phased in across D3&4 regions between June 4th & June 9th.

 

 

New Service:

LCN		Service Name	Multiplex	SID
16		4seven	D3&4 (PSB2)	8460				#1
463		Must Have Ideas	Arqiva A (COM5)	23680			Shopping channel.	#2
594		OUTflix Proud	Comux (L-Mux)	34048		Limited Coverage	IPTV Streaming Channel.	#3

#1 Following the addition of SID 8460, in the background, on D3&4 in the London area on June 13th, the service, 4seven, has been added to all D3&4 regions. This is a replacement for the service carried on the Arqiva A multiplex.

#2 A new shopping channel, Must Have Ideas, has been added to the Arqiva A multiplex.

#3 A new IPTV hybrid streaming channel, OUTflix Proud, has been added to the local mutiplex. This multiplex has limited coverage across the UK.

For connected Freely devices, 4seven is carried as an IP based service, so the new version of D3&4 should have no effect on these devices.

This service will not yet be visible on customer devices. 

Further details will be added as they become available.

Note:

Changes to video and audio formats:

LCN		Service Name	Multiplex	SID		Notes
46		That's TV 3	D3&4 (PSB2)	8700		Video and audio streams	-  format change.

- The video format has changed from MPEG2 Video to MPEG4/H.264/AVC Video

- The audio format has changed from MPEG2 Audio (eng) to ISO/IEC 14496-3 Audio with the LATM transport syntax as defined in ISO/IEC 14496-3/AMD-1 

In simple terms, the video stream has changed from MPEG2 to MPEG4 (H.264) and the audio stream has changed from MPEG audio to AAC3 audio.

Updates were rolled out across regions from June 4 to June 9. 

The service types have not changed, so this change isn't recorded in the analysis.

Note that older Freeview receivers (usually those which cannot receive the DVB-T2/HD channels) will no longer be able to view this service. This should not be an issue for Freely receivers.
