[QUOTE="Corrigapp, post: 1013847, member: 390950"] Just bought a new Samsung UHD tv and am keen to try and tune in the above channel just out of curiosity. I have a Humax Freesat box which receives the sound but no picture (as you would expect as it's not UHD-capable) on Freesat channel 998. However, trying to do a manual tune on my Samsung tv using what I believe to be the correct parameters (see below) gives me no signal, even though I must be able to receive the channel on my rig as I get sound on 998, as previously mentioned. Even though I don't live in the UK, I have large dish and feel fairly sure this is not a reception problem. Here's the real sting in the tail: Doing a manual tune on the Freesat box, using the parameters below, also gives no signal, even though the very same box (while in Freesat mode) happily plays the sound for that channel. This is beyond me... I've tried switching cables around at the LNB (an Inverto quad), but no luck. Should add here that the same thing applies when I try to manually tune in 12441 on an old Foxsat, no signal there either. So that's 3 separate pieces of equipment refusing to show a signal on 12441 during manual tuning, but with one of them playing sound and seeming to be receiving the channel ok in normal mode. Should also add that I've taken the parameters below from at least 3 different sources, sources which all show the UHD demo channel as being in the clear. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here... before the men in white coats come to get me? Channel parameters as used on Samsung TV: Freq: 12441 Symbol: 29500 Polarisation: V (settings for FEC, QPSK etc not available) Channel parameters as used on Humax HDR-1000S: Freq: 12441 Symbol: 29500 Polarisation: auto FEC: auto DVB-S2 QPSK Equipment Humax HDR-1000S (Freesat box) Samsung UE49KS8005TXXE (UHD-capable) Humax Foxsat (Freesat box) [/QUOTE]
