28,2E: Discovery has decoded Quest and Quest Red
Discovery Networks has stopped broadcasting on its satellite Quest and Quest Red thematic programs. Both programs have so far been available to viewers of Freeview in the United Kingdom. They are now available to all satellite viewers in the UK and Ireland via FTA broadcasting.
Access to the Freesat UK platform, free satellite services operated jointly by BBC and ITV, is to be confirmed by Discovery or Freesat UK. The decision came five months after Sky UK and Discovery concluded a new agreement on paid satellite service. The agreement gives Discovery greater freedom to develop free services.
Quest is Discovery's first unpaid TV channel on the UK market. The station was launched on September 30, 2009 on Freeview's Terrestrial TV. The station program consists of entertainment and lifestyle programs.
The second station, Quest Red, has been on the market since March 15, 2017 and brings portraits of prominent personalities, documents about the history of medicine, and so on.
Quest and Quest Red have so far been encoded by unmentionable encryption system used by STY TV on the satellite and are available only to Sky UK subscribers. Now the programs are available for everyone interested. While the major versions of Quest and Quest Red are broadcasting from the UK's Astra 2E satellite beam, Quest +1 and Quest Red +1 are in a strong European bundle of Astra 2E and Astra 2G satellites.
Technical parameters - Quest +1 (EU beam):
• Astra 2G (28.2 ° E), freq. 11.582 GHz, pol. H, SR 22000, FEC 5/6, DVB-S / QPSK, FTA
Technical parameters - Quest Red +1 (EU beam):
• Astra 2E (28.2 ° E), Frequency 11.875 GHz, Pol. H, SR 27500, FEC 2/3, DVB-S / QPSK, FTA
Technical parameters - Quest, Quest Red (UK beam):
• Astra 2E (28.2 ° E), Frequency 11.426 GHz, Pol. V, SR 27500, FEC 5/6, DVB-S / QPSK, FTA
