461244 2006-06-07 01:23:00 u know how skytv broadcasts cartoon network and nickleloden on the same UHF frequency(says on their website), is it possible for them to broadcast 2 sky digital tv channels on the same frequency? lance4k (4644)
461245 2006-06-07 01:26:00 they don't actuall do 2 channels on the same frequency at the same time. if i remeber right they one chanel is in morning and the other is in everning.

i have no idea why they would want to do that with sky digital as they have heaps of bandwidth to have the channels seperate.

461246 2006-06-07 01:38:00 The Sky digital channels are ALL on the "one multiplex frequency" from the satellite, the set top box "demultipexes" them into separate channels. One wide-spectrum digital transmission holds many simultaneous "channels" when demultiplexed.

With digital transmissions, each channel does not have a set "frequency" as do analogue transmissions.

Your question therefore does not make sense in terms of digital.

You are also confusing different times for different program content (Nickelodeon/Cartoon) as different channels on UHF, as tweak'e states.

461249 2006-06-07 01:50:00 for a basic sky setup just a standard splitter is all that is needed. not sure with dual LNB setups tho. i don't do much tv stuf these days so i don't know whats adavailable without ringing wholesalers/importers. tweak'e (69)
