Hi f.mateus
I had this problem with some 0,8w HD channels.
You have to go back to firmware 1.00.11 (Google for it) and when you have installed it all HD channels on 0.8w open perfectly

Hi, I have followed the instructions to get ITV HD on my HDCI2000 to the letter and only get a black screen.
I firstly downloaded Version 16 firmware. I was on Version 7.
I could not find 11426 H 2/3 on Astra 2 but found it on Astra 1 and successfully saved Brit Shorts.
I uploaded the channel file into formula and deleted Brit Shorts after noting its provider and transponder.
I copied BBC HD and changed the name to ITV HD. I changed the settings to :
SID: 0
PMT PID: 8192
VPID: 3401
APID: 3402
PCR: 3401
SUBTITLE PID: 0
TELETEXT PID: 8192
I then changed the provider to Arqiva and the transponder to 11425(=)27500.
I then saved and downloaded.
ITV HD appears OK in HD Channels page
I have gone through the process 4/5 times and still get a black screen when an ITV HD should be transmitting having checked the programme schedule.
Can anyone help
Thanks

Yesterday wasn't a good day as ITV HD wasn't sending it's usual not available message whenever I looked. I didn't check when scheduled programmes were.

To get ITV HD you need to add the right transponder, to do this I scanned for Shorts TV frequency with a scan of ASTRA 2 11426(or try 11428 as per Lyngsat) H 2/3. It won't work without this.

I then copied the BBC HD entry then renamed it ITV HD then changed the transponder entry (right click over BBC frequency) to the Shorts TV 11426 (or try 11428 as per Lyngsat) H 2/3. Then change SID to 0 V PID 3401 Audio 3402 PMT 3400 PCR 3401 I just left the text and subtitle settings as BBc HD as I don't know better!

It does work if you actually follow ALL the instructions!

Jem, thanks for the reply. I have tried to follow ALL the instructions but failed at the first hurdle. I'm a complete novice so bear with the detail.
I go to menu, then installation, then search channels. I set the antenna to Astra 2, Universal, Auto, Disable. I then look down the drop down list for the transponder and 11426 (H) 27500 2/3 is nowhere to be found. It does have 11428 (H) 22000 5/6 (I don't understand what your mean by as per Lyngsat?) but when I search on this transponder setting no channels are found. However if I set the Antenna to Astra 1, Universal, Auto, Disable and then click the drop down transponder list it does have 11426 (H) 27500 2/3 and when I search on this it does find Brit shorts???????
This is what I did originally and followed the rest of the instructions to the letter.
Thanks
Regards

You need to user define the transponder when you're doing the search (It's at the bottom of the list -or look at the manual). That's why we are going through the add Shorts TV process to get the right values on the list to use later with the BBC HD setting amended for ITV HD. You can only check if your successful at the moment when ITV HD is actually showing something.

Keep trying! (or just load a premade list mine is above but Llew has posted more recent and comprehensive versions).

Jem,
many thanks. I did not appreciate there was a user definable option for the transponder. I've now found Brit shorts on Astra 2, Transponder 11426 (H) 27500 2/3 and saved it to the Humax. I've uploaded the channel file to my PC with formula and identified the Brit short provider as Arqiva and the transponder as 11425 (=) 27500 and recorded this before deleting the Brit short line.
I then copied BBC HD which was line 280 to line 281 and changed its name to ITV HD. I then changed the provider to Arqiva and the transponder to 11425 (=) 27500.
I then went to the top of the screen and changed the settings to:
SID = 0
PMT PID = 3400 (a pevious poster had said this should be 8192)
VPID = 3401
APID = 3402
PCR PID = 3401
SUBTITLES PID = left as BBC HD setting
TELETEXT PID = left as BBC HD setting
I then saved to a new file name and closed the program. I then re-opened formula and opened the file to allow it to calculate. Then downloaded to the HDCI 2000. The ITV HD appears in the HD listing OK.

All I need to do now is wait for the next scheduled ITV HD Programme which is Wild at Heart at 8.30 pm - 9.30 pm on Sunday 11th Jan to see if its worked.

Just at the moment (20.50 Thursday) it is showing the black screen again with "This service is unavailable"
If you want to test it out.
Jem

 

[costeta]

I did try it earlier and have tried it again just now 9.25 pm and all I get is a black screen with no text at all. Clearly doesn't sound good if you are seeing the message.

 

[developers]

Read your post more carefully. No one said to delete Brit Shorts!

The right transponder is the one you found 11426 not 11425.

Back to the PC I'm afraid!
Or try the uploaded list stored on this forum and customise it for yourself.
Jem

Jem,
I think I've cracked it. I went back through the thread and found a post by DISEK. When he found Brit shorts he found the transponder as 11426 (H) 27500 not the 11425 (H) 27500 that mine shows. So I've just changed my my ITV HD transponder to 11426 (H) 27500 and downloaded and I can now see the ITV HD message "This service is currently unavailable".
Its looking good!!!!
Thanks for your help and I'll let you know how it goes on Sunday when we get the next ITV HD transmission.
Regards
Terry

 

[developers]

Did we post at the same time?

Yes I saw your error - I don't know where 11425 came from - no one mentioned to use that.

Your previous post showed the right transponder when you did the search. I assumed (wrongly!) that when you started using 11425 it was a typo.

Never mind and glad you cracked it!
Jem

 

[costeta]

Jem,

thanks. The wrong setting came when I right clicked on Brit shorts. But as you say never mind. Funny though since Thursday I can no longer see the out of service message on the ITV HD channel. I'm hoping that they are not transmitting it and not that I've now got problem again. I'll find out on Sunday ay 8.30 pm.

 

[costeta]

Jem,
Success. I'm now watching ITV HD in all its glory. Fantastic quality. Pity the programmes are currently so few and far between but bodes well for the future.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Terry

Hi All, Another success here re itv HD, for anyone still struggling check your signal strengh, my dish was slighly off and although i could receive BBC hd no prob, itv is obviously a weaker signal. A bit of tweaking of the dish and bingo, can't believe its taken me so long to spot the problem.

regards

Steve
