Some cinemas have issues with sync. We have contacted the teleport and they are trying to adjust. Thank you for your patience.
The test starts at 1800GMT and the programme begins at 1900GMT.
Please look at the notes in the earlier blog posts (e.g. use “Thor” if your receiver does not have IS-1002 listed)
You can call 08444 737373 and enter PIN 270661 for help with IS-1002 tuning queries
There will be additional Tests from 1430-1500GMT and this evening it will start at 1800GMT. you may need to delete this morning’s channel and re-tune.
For all who failed to get it this morning (and also didn’t get it on Tuesday) please use this resource.
NOTE: your tuning instructions refer to IS10-02. If your receiver’s satellite list does not have this, use THOR instead. It works the same.
The Test will run from 1000-1100GMT (1200-1300CET)
Call your appropriate Helpline (either for 10-02 or 905) if you didn’t get it right on the Test on Tuesday and still need assistance.
Test period begins at 10:00GMT and lasts for 1 hour. Call the helpline if you have issues.

A reminder that the Testing starts at 1230GMT/1330CET/0730ET.
And remember that you need to set your receivers (except for IS805 in South America) to DVBS-2 and 8PSK and PILOT ON . This is probably different to your usual settings. Please refer to your tuning guide or receiver handbook as to how to do this.
Hi,
A reminder that there is a Test this morning at 1000GMT/1100CET/0500ET and there will be feeds on IS-1002, AB-3, IS-905, and IS-805.
Please remember that the broadcast parameters are DVBS-2 and 8PSK (except for Is-805). It is crucial you know how to set this in your receivers (and it causes more calls to Helplines than any other issue)
Pre transmission test period starts at 17:00GMT / 18:00CET
Services established (both channels) at 16:50GMT
18:40GMT Currently there is an issue with the subtitler at NT so SUBS feed has no subtitles at present. Update soon.
20:30GMT As you can see we are still having subtitle difficulties – we are doing our best to keep them working and hope the slight flickering is not spoiling your enjoyment too much.
All services ceased at 21:23GMT – Goodnight all.
