[vdr] Re: Where is Huygens Probe Arrival at Titan on DVB-S?

[Marcus Klein <marcus-klein@freenet.de>]

Hi,

I found two channels for ESA in my channels.conf. The current display of both
channels announces that broadcasting starts at 14-Jan 08:00GMT. I think this
channels are what you are looking for and both match the transponder values
described in http://television.esa.int/photos/Astra.pdf.
Here are the two entries of my channels.conf:

ESA;Astra:10832:hC56:S19.2E:22000:55:56:0:0:61950:1:1057:0
ESA;ASTRA:12552:vC56:S19.2E:22000:305:306=eng:0:0:3995:1:1108:0

Best regards,

Marcus
