C4HD Freesat / Free to air test transmission frequency
Satellite : Eurobird
Frequency : 12.607
Polarisation : V
Symbol Rate : 28250
Transmission : DVB-S2
FEC : 3/4
Channel Label : 55300
Note: This is a test transmission and may not actually be the final frequency for C4HD
It is also on a frequency that Sky Boxes are unable to be manually tuned to.
Some Freesat HD boxes are able to receive this frequency by manually tuning
Non Sky boxes are OK, but you will probably have to manually input the frequency into the list of transponders.
I would not really expect a FTA version of this HD channel to bea easily available on a wide beam which is nice and easy for expats to receive for long.
Buyt you never know…

UKTV Channels rebranded on Freesat and Sky todayTuesday July 16, 2024
The current rumour (note RUMOUR, not confirmed) about this test for C4 is that it will test on here for a few weeks, and the BE JOINED by BBC1HD and BBCHD temporarily for a few days, whist the current BBC1HD frequency is reconfigured, and then BBC1HD, BBCHD and C4 hd all sit on the same frequency.
I am sure there will be issues with some programme makers / rights holders if C4HD is left FTA on a european wide beam…..
But as of today (Monday 14th February), this version is now scrambled, and only accessible with a Sky card…
