Beste lezers, TV-DX-ers,
In deze aflevering hebben we weer een TV Logboek met ontvangsten van GVs, LET en
HCO. Laatstgenoemde heeft ons het een en ander opgestuurd over twee recente én wel
heel bijzondere F2/TEP ontvangsten op kanaal A2. De door hem ontvangen "veegbeelden"
zijn namelijk al snel geïdentificeerd als zijnde beeldfragmenten van zenders in Zuid
Amerika en wel nader bepaald uit Argentinië én Braz ilië of Chili !
Begin deze maand hoopt onze huidige gastredacteur Pascal af te studeren aan de
universiteit in San Diego. Hij heeft in ieder geval al een vooruitzicht op een goed betaalde
baan, niet ver van zijn woonplaats, Imperial Beach, in het zuiden van Californië. De tijd gaat
wel ontzettend snel, hi ! Want dat manneke woont nu al weer bijna drie jaar in de VS. Hij
heeft onlangs veel informatie verzameld en opgestuurd over de digitale TV in Denemarken.
Zijn copij is gepland voor komende BDXC Bulletins.
De Telenet MUXen 1, 2 en 3 in Vlaanderen zijn alweer enkele maanden geleden aan de
deur gezet. Het vreemde is echter, dat op de betreffende kanalen toch nog "lege" signalen
aanwezig zijn... Het nieuws wordt hiermee geopend.
**** JACHTSCHOTEL ****
BELGIË
Telenet heeft op 31 maart 2014 de stekker uit Teletenne getrokken
omdat het commerciële succes naar eigen zeggen beperkt was, door
een gebrek aan interesse. Teletenne was de merknaam voor het
aanbod van digitale televisie via de ether in Vlaanderen en Brussel.
Telenet maakte daarvoor gebruik van de DVB-T(2) standaard en
bood langs deze weg 18
zenders aan via een speciale settopbox en antenne. Telenet ging in
de zomer van 2012 van start met het aanbieden van digitale televisie
via de ether, maar heeft amper anderhalf jaar na de lancering alweer
een punt achter de dienst gezet. Als alternatief biedt de operator aan zijn Teletenne-klanten
aan om over te schakelen naar Yelo TV om via het internet tv te kijken op een smartphone,
tablet of computer. (ZDNB, via PCO, Gli)

DVB-T zenders, [deel 4].
Ná alle kanaalwisselingen en verdere aanpassingen volgt hieronder de 4e aflevering van
een overzicht met bijna alle digitale TV zenders (³ 1 kW. ERP) in dit land.
Gedurende troposferische openingen kunnen vooral de zogenaamde "kustzenders" in onze
regionen gecapteerd worden, want er zitten namelijk relatief sterke exemplaren bij !

ROUMANIA
L Romania Switching to DVB-T2.
Romania will switch off the analog terrestrial signal and will pass to digital terrestrial
tele-vision on 17th June 2015, announced Catalin Marinescu, president of telecom watchdog
ANCOM. The telecom authority will allocate 5 national digital multiplexes in DVB-T2
standard, four national digital multiplexes in UHF band and one national digital multiplex in
VHF band. ANCOM will also allocate regional digital multiplexes. The number remains to
be decided, depending on the need, after the national ones are allocated. One of the four
multiplexes in UHF band will be allocated in certain conditions: it can broadcast public and
private stations after 17th June 2015, provided it ensures fixed emission coverage of 90%
of the population and 80% of the territory by 31st December 2016.
(DVB Worldwide, via GLi, PCO)
FRANCE
Mux 7 and Mux 8 [part 8]:
The new Muxes 7 and 8 (Reseaux 7 et 8) will be taken into service between 12th December
2012 and 2nd June 2015 in 13 phases. They will offer in total 6 new HD programmes: HD
1, l'Équipe 21, 6ter, Numéro 23, RMC Découverte and Chérie 25 (all MPEG-4).
Télévision Numérique Terrestre is the national digital terrestrial service for France. It
for-mally arrived on 31st March 2005 after a short testing period. Like Freeview in the
United Kingdom it will support many new channels as well as the current terrestrial
television stations. Pay TV channels were launched in September 2005 using the MPEG4
format, unlike most of Europe which currently uses MPEG2. Pay per view terrestrial
channels use H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC. The analogue switch off has been completed on 30th
Novem-ber 2011. TNT is the first service to implement Dolby Digital Plus as one possible
audio codec. France is also the first European country and the third in the world to propose
the HDTV on its DTT after USA and Japan.
L Phase 9: 10th June 2014.
Nine main transmitters and 122 low power outlets will be taken into service for serving the
following regions / departments: Bourgogne (except the department Yonne, which is already
served since 12th December 2012), Franche-Comté, Haute Marne (already partly served
since 12th December 2012), l'Ain and Haute Savoie (partly).

L Demand high for fifth multiplex:
The demand for a license to operate a fifth multiplex on the DTT platform is high. Earlier,
the communications regulator UKE opened a consultation to determine the interest for the
use of the frequencies 170 - 234 MHz. for a new DTT multiplex. These frequencies have
become available following the completion of analogue switch-off last July.
(DigiTag, via GLi)
BELGIUM
L Norkring switches off DVB-T2 network:
The broadcast network operator Norkring has officially switched off its DVB-T2 network in
the Flemish speaking community of the country.
These multiplexes were switched off following the decision by the pay-DTT service provider,
Telenet, to stop offering its pay-DTT package. Its pay-DTT package, Teletenne, had
launched in June 2012 but failed to become financially viable.
Telenet has suggested that existing Teletenne subscribers switch to its Yelo TV service.
However, viewers can continue to access the free-to-air DTT platform which uses the
DVB-T standard. Television services are provided by the public service broadcasters
VRT and RTBF.

L ASO to be completed by the end of the year.
The Uganda Communication Commission (UCC) has announced that digital switchover will
be completed by December 2014. By this date, the roll out of the DTT platform will be
completed and broadcasters will be required to switch-off their analogue terrestrial
tele-vision services. Viewers are encouraged to purchase DTT receivers although digital
tele-vision sets are currently not available on the market. The UCC is planning to conduct
testing of DTT receivers to ensure conformity with the national DTT specification.

**** F2 / TEP DX in Portugal - HCO, Algarve, PRT ****
1) Channel A2, Argentina, 625 lines
He has received this on 18th April at 20.00 UTC in Portugal in 625 lines, with 55.251 MHz.
offset; see the Youtube video links below:
http://youtu.be/3tCirtAPYVA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=d2KTDDxi4ts
At times a "2" can be seen in the video. He has slowed down the second one, and it
ap-pears at the middle top (though should be on the top right of the normal picture. In the
end it was identified as Canal 2 Posada (Misiones Province) - Argentina by someone
commenting on the youtube video. Usually you can see the "2" on the live stream....
http://www.canal2misiones.com.ar/stream/c2-en-vivo.php
….Except during the long break for commercials; the website is here:
www.canal2misiones.com.ar/
See photos 11 - 13. There have been quite a lot of 625 signals from S. America in the past
two weeks, but this is the only time 55.251 MHz. has been strong enough for an image,
then there is often a pileup of signals.
2) Channel A2, Brazil and/or Chile, 525 lines:
On 1st May 2014 at 2000 UTC he has received a TV programme from Brazil on channel A2,
see the two links below:
http://youtu.be/QlisPdllkFw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7xRM8djJHQ&list=UUgvxfQrcH9-qdoBKKHBtofA
The second video was recorded just before the first one, the Brazilian clip, a soap opera
and football commentary from the sound of it on Channel A2. All video was in 525 lines, so
it rules out Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, who use 625 lines.
Jose EA7KW in Spain just listened to it: "It's an interview with a writer, the lady talking at
the begining sounds like argentinian accent but the writer sounds Chilean to me. The
football match speaker mixed with the interview sounds Chilean too".
Anyway, the MUF reached channel A3 video just with a weak 625 line signal. Earlier on the
same day around 1200 UTC Jordan channel E3 was in and out so the sporadic E season
is starting up !
