Each channel is supposed to broadcast their identity, however a number (such as the BBC on digital satellite) either don't broadcast a TSDP packet or they broadcast a null identity (which is either &2020 or &0000).
Here are the identities of some FTA channels from the SkyDigital platform (Astra 2 at 28.2°E and EuroBird at 28.5°E):
BBC One South | No ID | |
BBC Two England | No ID | Very reduced service, go to p199 for index. |
Channel Four | &3F8B | Only carries subtitling? |
S4/C Digidol | &2DE3 | Index is on p400. |
Sky News | &3F5F | Mostly 'betting' information. |
EuroNews | &0000 | Invalid identity. |
Sky News UK/Eire (Cable) | &3F9F | A better Sky teletext service! |
Travel Channel | &8888 | Doesn't sound like a real ID. |
Here are the identities of some FTA channels from the Astra1 platform (Astra 1x at 19.2°E):
