Briantist: BBC HD is now back to 2D. The test seems to last for a couple of minutes.

Briantist: Have you noticed any difference in the quality of the 2D BBC HD picture now it has been increased from 1440x1080 to 1920x1080 pixels.
Also if a transmision uses 720 instead of 1080 for a stereoscopic (3D) picture, will the two images on a 2D television be horizontal. One image in the top half of the screen, and the other in the bottom half of the screen.

Briantist: According to the internet blog that Mick Dimmick pointed out on this stream on Wednesday 8 Jun 2011 at 7:50pm it states, "As we are trying to fit two images into the current BBC HD Channel's signal, one of the temporary changes is change the horizontal resolution from 1440 pixels to 1920 for the trial period".

Briantist: I see REAL DIGITAL will test the signal within four weeks with a possible launch in early September.

I'm watching A Question of Sport on BBC One HD and the DOG is in the top left corner of the screen.

Briantist: A news item on the SES Astra web site states, "ASTRA 1N is scheduled for launch tonight, July 1st, 2011. The satellite will be launched into space from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana onboard an Ariane 5 ECA rocket between 23:43 and 1:06 am (July 1-2, 2011 Central European Summer Time)".

Mark A. This can be found on the SES Astra web site. "The satellite offers 52 Ku-band transponders and will first provide interim capacity at 28.2° East. Subsequently it will be moved to 19.2° East, from where it will mainly serve the German, French and Spanish markets". I assume it will be staying at 28.2 East until Astra 2F launches next year.

Brazil have just scored another goal against Norway on the ZDF HD channel making it Brazil 3 Norway 0.

Briantist: I see that Astra 1N liftoff is scheduled for Friday 5 August 2011. Let's hope it makes it to 28.2 degrees East this time to supplement the Astra 2 satellites.
