News on new channels - Freeview & Sky

Check this Twitter profile out http://www.twitter.com/BabeView_XXX
It looks like Babe View could be a new channel starting up . I see a few babe channel girls are following Babe View as well .

If you see what happens if you work across the 4 distinct frequency ranges of satellite, you can see if you get problems in only one area.
Also check that your LNB hasn't moved with wind or whatever - it should be at an angle to the main dish - meaning it shouldn't be directly parallel to the dish vertically - an LNB has a "skew" which for Astra 28.2 would need to be correct to wherever you are in the UK (or Europe).

Thank you for your comments dirk, very helpful. It's definitely only the one frequency I can't get, although I've known Sky 908 to get a little wobbly at times (only an occasional problem), so there might be a slight problem with a second frequency. I've looked at the LNB and compared it to others in the immediate vicinity and the position seems to the same, so I've guessing it's starting to fail.

Just checked out their twitter account http://www.twitter.com/BabeView_XXX and they said they were casting in the Midlands on the 14th of May for models , they have only made 1 tweet since then. I've just checked out Ofcom's licencing update section on their website that gives details of any new licences granted, no new babe channels have been granted a licence in the last few months, no details for May have yet been given, they could of cause us the licence of a existing broadcaster like some other channels do .

It wouldn't surprise me if this BabeView is some sort of hoax/fake channel broadcaster account , although some babe channel girls are following them on twitter .

On these channels there was stories they were being taken over but nothing has happened. Does anyone know if there are plans for anoy of the other operators to take them over

Extracts from a516digital.com - from 4 August 2013

Ofcom has updated its broadcast licence database today, revealing some interesting new potential additions to Freeview in the coming months.
There are also new licences for adult services KissMe TV and Proud Dating. Peace TV is also on the list, but some services now listed by Ofcom may launch as streamed services via the Connect TV platform. Such services require a digital terrestrial TV licence as they need a channel number on the Freeview channel line-up linked to an online portal.
The award of digital terrestrial service licences does not necessarily mean the channels will launch on Freeview anytime soon. Ofcom has listed timeshift channel "Yesterday+1" for over a year, without the channel appearing in the Freeview line-up.

TheWatcher, how do you know KissMe TV is a new adult service ?, Ofcom give the owner of the new licence as Boxbeat Media Limited and the website as http://www.musictillidie.com , (the website given by Ofcom doesn't lead me anywere by the way), it sounds more like a music channel to me, although the type of licence is Teleshopping

Its not me that is saying its an "adult service".
I was just quoting what was posted at a516digital. Their info is usually correct.
The statement, coloured red, in my post was a direct quote from the article, saying it was an adult service.

Iv'e just been on Ofcom's web site having a look at new licences granted by Ofcom in July 2013, as stated by The Watcher a potential new Adult channel with the name of "KissMe TV" was granted a brand new freeview licence in July, the type of content was described as "Teleshoppng" , as i stated previously a company called "Boxbeat Media Limited" is the licence holder of KissMe TV.
A potential new freeview channel "Proud Dating" as The Watcher mentioned was also granted a new freeview licence in July, Boxbeat Media Limited is also the licence holder of that potential new channel as well, the type of content was also described by Ofcom as "Teleshopping". (Ofom desrcibe babe channels as Teleshopping)

Iv'e just checked and Boxbeat Media Limited is the licence holder of the "Kiss" music channels broadcasting on Sky TV, but this licence isn't described as Teleshopping, it's described by Ofcom as"interactive/Music/Editorial, so is the company behind the Kiss music channels about to venture into the babe channel market i wonder ? .

On another note i noticed on the updated freeview licence daterbase that The Watcher mentioned that Playboy TV Chat and Elite TV still have up to date freeview licenses .

New channels and new operators are well overdue and might breath fresh air in the sector. There is a real need for operators with diverse interests so they can weather the occasional storm.
