Is this because I am using the demo version of Setedit maybe?

Thanks

Setedit with Passion HD

Hi all, greetings, this is my first post although I've been lurking & reading the mail for some time looking for info on receivening ITV HD on a Passion.

It seems that Setedit 1.01 for the Passion looses the tick box HD flag when the channel list is saved. So 1.01 may still have some bugs with HD. I guess gnr you are loading the channel list into the STB using a USB stick? Been there done that myself :-) Last night I made up a null modem cable and transferred the channel data via RS232 which solves the problem.

But despite trying various settings for ITV HD I still can't resolve any picture and sound. Guess I'm doing something daft, I'm rather rusty having been out of the satellite scene for a few years. Paul

Same prob still...

Hiya

Beginning to think I was going mad so it's interesting other people are having problems with SetEdit. Truth to be told I am probably not that interested in watching it now, but it's become obsession to get it on!

I can't go down the null modem cable route either so I wonder what the solution is...

What version of Setedit are you using ? It works with 'V1.01 Build 119' but not with 'V1.01 Build 124'.

Loader version 1.14 for the passion and 1.07 software (November 2007).

I thought I was going mad too. It's amazing how something which should be fairly simple can provide so many hours of entertainment!

Fortunately I have a laptop as well as the desktop which is in another room. It was a bit of a faff, the laptop has no serial port of course so I first had to persuade a USB serial adapter I already had to work with Vista(!). It is a Prolific based OEM one. Going to the Prolific web site their policy is not to make Vista drivers available to end users (why not?!) I eventually found one that worked on a third party manufacturer's site. And then I made the null modem cable and of course got the connections wrong first time. Such fun and so much more interesting than going out for a pint last night!

Hopefully Wolfgang Litzinger the Setedit author will fix the save problem soon. I emailed him via the Setedit web site yesterday to alert him to it in case he wasn't already aware.

Finally!

Just downloaded 119, sorted! Now have ITV HD!! But no sound... Is there anything at the moment being broadcast?

London looks quite nice in HD.

GNR - I had that problem the other morning but it allowed me to register kind-of mid morning so it will let you in eventually.

Many thanks to everyone who have saved my sanity over ITV!

Good stuff, try experimenting with different PIDS for Service ID and PMT PID (always keep your Video PID, Audio PID and PCR PID constant , just make multiple copies of the channel. For info I get perfect results with the following settings.

Service ID - 0
Video PID - 3401
PMT PID - 16
PCR PID - 3401
Audio PID - 3402
HD Box - Ticked

Thanks Ratchet, used your channel list (I'm magwitch at sataid). I just need to convert to DiseqC 1.0, hopefully ITV HD remains working!

Strange that those pids are ones I used before

Nice one, it should last - I've had it working rock solid since Thursday night. I just assumed ITV had changed something at their end until I saw that most people still couldn't get it. I made multiple copies of the channel with various PID combos and miraculously one of them worked.

Hmmm, deleted channel and rescanned just using Passion and the settings you said Ratchet, put onto USB, enabled HD flag on PC, transferred back and still no sound... odd... is there something else I need to alter on the Passion?

Hi Llew. Many thanks. But this seems to be V1.00 build 118 with no HD tick box? Or am I missing something? Paul
