'Lost' C1 Optus Tune channel?

[gordon_s1942]

Ok, I havent looked for ages and havent kept up to date but I dont appear to have the C1 Tune Channel on 12405 anymore.
The Humax has been left displaying 1 on the dial but I havent bothered to watch it for some months but when I did, there aint nuttin there but a 'No or Bad Signal' box.
When did they switch it off and apart from Al Jazeera which I still have, is there anything still there FTA to see?

You miss the ending Gordon ? I can tell you what happened

The last time I really looked was when SBS went off air as the last broadcasters on Aurora but I sort of thought the tuning channel would stay just for the reason it was there in the first place.
I am sure I saw the message pages for a period after that advising the closure of Aurora and directing viewers to use VAST but as I say, I havent looked for sometime.
Shows how good my memory is, was that Dec 31 2013 or 2014 that Aurora actually closed ?

Off the top of my head without checking the SR changed
Try Freq 12405/6/7 Vertical SR 24450

errr NOPE !!! What I got with that setting and a 1/2 FEC is something called Astralinks FLY SNG with a watermark of SKY Thoroughbred Central with a race from Toowoomba and now we're off to Caulfield.
What a shame I am not into racing.
I know have 2 FTA channels, Al Jazeera and Astralinks FLY.........ohh gooodie...!!

12405/6/7 arent even mentioned by Lyngsat on either C1 or D3.

It was correct when posted, usually an Optus Card there the tag it only changed recently, they were running video test loops a few weeks ago. Seems the new provider is Astralinks and not Optus maybe they have taken over that freq. Horse racing was up last weekend as well.

Lyngsat has been informed already, he was just awaiting on confirmation of the DVBS modulation type
