Channel 4 HD becomes the first channel available on Astra 1N satellite

Posted by: Jon in News

Chanenl 4 HD today become the first channel to be available on the Astra 1N satellite.
This meant that it moved from its previous Eurobird frequency of 12606 V, to its new Astra 1N frequency of 11123 V 22000 2/3

Sky HD users will not have to do anything, as their Sky HD box will automatically update to the enw frequency.

Freesat HD users may have to perform a new Freesat channel scan to make sure that their Freesat HD receiver is using the new frequency. If this scan is not completed then you may not be able to watch C4 HD, as your Freesat HD box may be still trying to use the old, now defunct frequency.

Any other receivers will need to be manually updated, usually via the installation menu.

    As Astra 1N is a new satellite, it will not show in receiveers satellite lists.
    But as Astra1 N is in the same location as Astra 2a, 2b, 2d, and EB1, just add the new frequency to that satellite group, and scan the frequency.

    If you really want to add Astra 1N, then there should be a menu option to “add new satellite”.
