29/09/05, 20:00 CET: NBC Giga, now simply Giga TV, becomes a 24-hour service and Das Vierte starts regular broadcasting. Giga TV signal at 19° east is a retransmission of the signal at 23°.5 east (which is, strangely and despite its parameters, a bad quality signal), while signal at 13° east is very good, but it's only available during weekdays (1300 to 1600 CET), sharing the same channel with new movie channel 'Das Vierte' and CNBC Europe. Its HotBird signal (for cable operators) is a bad quality retransmission of Astra'a analogue signal, so if you watch it directly on Astra (both analogue or digital) you can get much better quality pictures.
