Some success with ITV HD on Fortec Passion

Ratchet

I added the channel from scratch using Setedit rather than edit an existing channel. Have you tried various PID combos, i.e. Service ID 10510 and / or PMT PID 3400 ? You may want to give my channel list a go, I've attached it here. ITV HD is channel 0024 but make a backup / copy of your own database in case this one doesn't work.

This is odd, I have ensured the Audio PID is set to 3402 on PC. On Passion it showed as 8192. So I tried another edit, again using 3402 and I now have 11594 listed as the PID. Am I doing something completely wrong?

Kyle having the same probs as you..........on all counts!!!

Ratchet

Guys, I feel your pain - I went through the same thing a few days ago until it just clicked. Either try my channel list posted above or keep trying with Setedit using various combos.

gnr

Tried your channel post Ratchet and many thanks for the posting alas now i have the passion reporting no video or sound but i still have the sound?
'tis a strange world

Ratchet it works for me! Thank you! I uploaded your channel list via RS232 using Setedit V1.01 build 124 (the latest one). Bingo! ITV HD pictures and sound!

gnr

Ratchet, just as a check, i went to lux and BBC HD and only got sound there too

KyleRickards

Right... am having to write things down now!

Have tried:

Serv 0 PMT 16 (Pic/No sound)

Serv 10510 PMT 16 (Sound/No pic)

Serv 0 PMT 3400 (Pic/No sound)

Serv 10510 PMT 3400 (Sound/No pic)

So am I missing something blindingly obvious like another combo?

Kyle
(PS - sorry all!!)

Llew

Sorry, mistaken file my PC. Will change when I find it

(Edit) Have now (hopefully) uploaded the correct file.

gnr which version of Setedit did you use to upload it to the STB? V1.01 build 124 (the current one from the Satedit web site) works for me when I use Ratchet's channel list bot via RS232 AND through a USB stick. Nice one Ratchet!

gnr

Ratchet re tried as Pauls post and HUNKY DORY sound and vision for itv, can i cut and copy that to my own channel listings? as you seem to have the world of tvon your list Many many thanks

gnr

Paul i used the USB and build 124 going to try and migrate just that setting to my own setup if that is possible

Ratchet

Good to hear that it works for you now. Don't know about cut and paste with Setedit as I've never tried it. It's easy though to block mark unwanted channels and delete them in one go.

paul_hants

I can guess where Ratchet lives from the BBC Region at the top of the list! gnr, I only tried it briefly but editing Ratchet's list and re-saving it appears to work fine.

gnr

TO ALL, thank you for your help, i have copied and pasted the ITVHD channel from Ratchets list to my own and now have the biz. London from the air looks good, maybe it's the streets are just bad.

paul_hants

Well, 2 days later, now that works OK, what am I going to do for the rest of the day? Maybe get a life again :-) All we need now are some ITV HD programmes to watch!

KyleRickards

Cannot get it to marry sound and picture! Tried every possible combo.

Interestingly, the two versions that have sound but no picture do not show as HD and in fact the 576 indicator is highlighted. However, in both versions of Setedit, it definitely shows them as HD channels via the flag setting...

gnr

Well once again folks (as it has only taken the morning) peeps have moved to help other peeps, one day i hope to be in the same position.

KyleRickards

GNR - Do you need two versions of Setedit running at same time? Tried copying Ratchets but it wouldn't let me switch between the two channel lists?

gnr

I used build 124 to load in Ratchets list, went to the astra sat and used the the list from there (he seems to have the world sats, his name should be NASA), ch 24 is the ITVHD i highlighted that r click for copy, then loaded in my own list, found a space in my astra are (just hover over the whole box), and pasted, then saved (as a differnt file to the usb for the whole lot, just incase), then upload to the passion and viola

KyleRickards

You would not believe I work in IT, cannot paste into it at all....

I copy Ratchet's with right click, load mine up but paste is ghosted out?

Edit - ignore me!!!

gnr

try pasting it on top of what you have, eg user tv

KyleRickards

All up and running, thanks all!!

Well, that occupied my Saturday morning!!

gnr

We seem to be a lot of happy bunnies now

paul_hants

Many thanks for all the support everyone. Ratchet, your channel list also fixed my FTA Channel 4 :-) The Passion had refused to find the channel (8350) despite advanced scan etc. Cheers!
