nr.Cov.... pure n*l
Wanted to watch some early Masters golf on these channels today but getting no audio on them. I'm in a "pure" area but noticed that my other channels which are ok have a 6952 symbol rate, the ones with no audio are 6887.
In the good old card days I only used 6887

Could someone in a pure area who is getting the required channels let me know their transponder info please? I could see if I can scan them in manually.
 
Done a full rescan but still the same.

Been sat watching it with no sound for an hour and it suddenly gives me sound :)
Yet another edit,lol. Same commentary for all red button channels. Not matching what I'm seeing on the screen but still better than silence

Most Pure areas are changing to 6952 symbol rate for Qam256 channels. Only the QAM64 services remain on 6887 symbol rate.
 
Cheers Abu, that explains a lot. My red button channels are Qam64.
Seems strange watching featured groups but only getting commentary from "Amen Corner", lol. The commentator getting excited over a short iron landing close to the hole whereas I'm watching a tee shot on a par 5. :oops:
 
Have you tried using AutoBouquetsMaker?

I already use it mate. Stream starts @2-30 today but am going to see what is involved financially to obtain it from Masters.com.
Arguably the greatest golf tournament in the world yet Augusta restricts the amount of live tv coverage, unbelievable!!
 
I.m also in a 'pure' area. no sound on Red button either (don't know how to check for QAM rate - zgemma box)

==== Edit
Thought I had cured this - selected Chinese as a language ; sound came on, in English, but it is for the F1 Channel !!
Now gonna work my way through all the other channels......

Ok - on channel 1005 Bengali (language number 3) gives English commentary ... :)

Channel 1006 language selection is Number 4 - Bulgarian ;)

If you change channel, the language resets to English tho'

You absolute diamond you :)
I had actually tried the different audio choices yesterday but just quickly flicked through a couple, they take a little time to trickle through.

For transponder info press tv button and go into your desired bouquet, press menu and select show transponder info
