Other web sites are reporting that BBC One HD Northern Ireland is now testing on Astra and may launch as early as Wednesday so that Freeview HD viewers do not need to retune at an later date when BBC One HD Northern Ireland launch.
No news on when BBC One HD Wales and BBC One HD Scotland will launch.
NOTE TO ALL: Wednesday mark the end of analogue television in Northern Ireland and the UK.
