My System: Various PCs Humax iCord HD reciever
iCord Help

I wrote out a full guide as I have just spent a couple of days looking up info and trying stuff out trying to get ITV HD to work. However it logged me out whilst I was writing it and so i lost it all. Couldn't be bothered to rewrite it so here is a few hints/tips that should help.

1) The iCord does not come with Eurobird 1 programmed in so firstly go into 'menu-installation-antenna settings-satellite settings', select 'user define 1', rename it and enter these settings:

EuroBird 1 - 11426.00 Horizontal - DVB - 27500 2/3

You'll find it lists it as Eurobird 1 0.0 rather than 28.5E but it'll still work. Now scan for channels.

2) Download the Uniformula software onto your pc from:
_http://www.humaxdigital.com/deutsch/hcsa/download/products/icordhd.asp
if this link doesn't work, go to _www.humax-digital.de and navigate to service-download and select the iCord from the dropdown list.

3) The easiest way to edit your channel list is via a usb memory stick, so if you have one use it, if you don't have one borrow one.

4) Plug it into your iCord and export your channel list via the installation menu. Then plug it into your pc, open uniformula and open the list from the usb pen, it'll be in the root folder named something like hdpvr_ch_list.udf.

5) Instead of creating a new channel locate BBC HD in the list and copy and paste it at the end. Creating it from scratch doesn't seem to work.

6) Edit the extra BBC HD channel with the following:
Channel Name:ITV HD
Service ID 0000
PMT PID 3400
Video PID 3401
Audio PID 3402
PCR PID 3401
Sub PID 8192
Teletext PID 8192
Video " PID FALSE
NB:You will need to click (>>) at the top to be able to alter a lot of these settings
Also make sure these agree:
EuroBird 1 - 11426.00(=)27500 2/3

7) Save the changes, transfer the usb stick back to your iCord and then import the channels in the same way you exported before.

It worked for me, I hope it does for you, if it doesn't make sure your firmware is .13 or later, if it isn't download it from the german site and update your box.

Let me know if this helps anyone.
