The encrypted one is used by Sky Germany, and is encrypted with a version of NDS3 so that one at least is unlikely to ever be able to work with MythTV.

No problem.

Astra 1 19E Sky Germany Encrypted
11406Mhz Vertical 8PSK FEC 2/3 22Ms/s
Channel information varies, different each event broadcast, this was FTA until last October at which moment the next channel appeared.


Astra 1 19E Astra Ultra HD Demo unencrypted
10993Mhz Horizontal 8PSK FEC 5/6 22Ms/s
Channel 1 video pid 110 hevc 10bit, audio pid 120 ac3+
Channel 2 video pid 210 hevc 10bit, audio pid 220 aac

These two channels are the same video stream with different PAT entries, different audio, something to do with STB compatibility I’m told. This one carried the live Linkin Park concert for Samsung last autumn, I did notice they tested in 10bit and an hour before the show switched to 8bit, h’mm.

Hotbird 13E Hotbird 4k Test unencrypted
10930Mhz Horizontal 8PSK FEC 2/3 30Ms/s
Channel 1 video pid 257 hevc 8bit, audio pid 258 aac
This one has other HD & SD channels in the same mux, that’s brave!

Astra 2 28E Astra Ultra HD test unencrypted
12441Mhz Vertical QPSK FEC 3/4 29.5Ms/s
Channel 7400 video pid 210 hevc 10 bit, audio pid 220 aac

There used to be an EBU transmission on 10W but that was h264 four quadrant, 4x1080p50 h264 streams, combine them to make a UHD picture.
Well according to kingofsat.net there’s now a h265 version

Eutelsat 10E Eutelsat Ultra HD
11428Mhz Vertical 8PSK FEC 5/6 30Ms/s
Channel 1 video pid 257 hevc audio pid 258 aac

Don’t know much about this one as I have only occasional access to Eutelsat 10, I need a good excuse to get someone to swing a 6m dish!
