Managed to resolve video on the Passion. Maybe need to tweak the PIDS for sound though. Using Setedit to try different parameters. Llew

You always like to rise to a challenge! I have no experience of HD, but is the audio issue anything to do with a difference in the Dolby digital encoding? Please don't swear  Yorks

I am totally confused! Will I be able get ITV HD on my Fortec HD set up? Is there list of settings I can put in to get the Channel 4 ones without retuning it all? Kyle Last edited by KyleRickards; 07-05-2008 at 06:26 PM. | ||

Thanks York, doing that search got me E4, E4 +1 and More 4+1 but no Channel 4 or More 4 - am I doing something wrong?! Also have used Llew's settings for ITV HD Test but getting blank screen (although the USer TV thing comes up as channel name) Getting mighty frustrated!! | ||

 Yes, it's using AC3 audio only (see pic 1). Compare with pic 2, BBC HD, the MPEG 1 stream. At the moment, I'm getting only audio tone on the channel, no video - that's what's being transmitted at present. Llew

Is anyone with an official box receiving the ITV HD with both audio and video? Edit - lol If that is all that's being broadcast at present, I'll take that as a no. Yorks

Upload to Setedit. Click on the channel in Setedit and put in the pids in the box as shown in my post. Re-upload the settings to your STB. At the time of posting, only an audio tone is being transmitted. Maybe try later. (Yes, you can use the pics.) Llew

Made the edits but it won't save the HD/Video settings? Sorry... Last edited by KyleRickards; 07-05-2008 at 10:40 PM. | ||

I've done a few transfers to modify settings, always shows for me as 'User TV' against the latest scanned channel no. in the Astra 28.2 list. Llew

My System: 1m Dish with Motor. DM600PVR Gemini 430 Using Wireless bridge and PopCornHour A-100 | with fear of stating the blindingly obvious, According to the freesat website, ITV-HD is not a "channel" per se.. It is a red-button service over ITV 1, so if the ITV1 program is available in HD then u can press it and watch it in HD. which explains non continuous broadcast, and.. maybe the sound issues. | ||

My System: FTA Fortec HD Satellite Receiver, minidish, only aligned to 28.2 | Finally getting there - firmware updated, loaded data into setedit, if I drag UserTV across from Radio, it lets me alter the video number but refuses to save the HD box when checked... very odd, tried few different USB sticks as well...

My System: Openbox X-820, 2m dish with 1lnb + 80cm dish with 3 lnbs | I seem to be getting ITV HD just fine, although dvbdream didnt find a pid for the video and set the channel to radio. I had to add the video pid and set the channel to video and it worked flawlessly, sound and video works fine! | ||

Rather watch that than the guff on regular ITV

My System: FTA Fortec HD Satellite Receiver, minidish, only aligned to 28.2 | Hi Llew It shows up after scan as User TV on Passion, only when I put it in Setedit, it appears on the Radio side. Then I alter the settings as per your post, which it seems to like and save (!) but everytime I click the HD box and save, after reopening it, the HD tick is missing. Is this because I am using the demo version of Setedit maybe? Thanks Kyle | ||
