    In the Liveonsat listings they are showing a BBC HD Red Button frequency. Googling it confirms the BBC have used 12.422 H, 27.500, 2/3, DVB-S, QPSK for the World Cup and Wimbledon. However I cannot find anything on this frequency and it does not appear in my satellite.xml. Doing a blind scan I can find 12383 and 12442 but nothing in between.



    I believe the HD frequency is probably something historical and Liveonsat just have not updated their data base. Does anyone know if there is a BBC Red Button frequency and if it is 12.422 any idea on why I cannot get it on my Zgemma H7 OpenATV 6.4.2 image.



    I do have the SD Red Button

    You are right, that was one of 7 special channels (BBC RB 1-6 used to be on the same transponder) added to cover simultaneous games during the big events.

    They were indeed all on 12421H, I still have them in my channel list but they are not active at the moment.

    I would like to see a permanent upgrade to HD for BBC RB though I only use BBC RB to watch snooker as the normal schedule is mostly the same.
