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  | ||

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 | |||

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! | ||

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 | ||
