"out of sync" may well be the clue. As it has been pointed out, the video can change from interlaced (1080i50) to progressive (1080p25) and back throughout a broadcast. The TS container handles this format change just fine but most other containers do not. Try deinterlacing the HD recording so...

That's why many smartphones with little screens have full HD displays and premium tablets have had display resolutions in excess of that for a number of years.

In theory inadyn will support any DDNS service that allows an ip address to be updated via an http request. You may have to roll your own configuration file if your provider is not one of those listed. https://github.com/troglobit/inadyn/blob/master/README.md has an example on using the "Generic...

It look very much like the OP has the custom firmware installed and is trying to access the recordings on the Humax over SMB. The SMB client shipped with recent versions of Mac OS X (since version 10.7) is known to have interoperability problems with older servers. The closest equivalent to...

VLC has a habit of doing this with some video files - I don't think it is specific to SD. Just use a different media player to play the affected files. I have used MPlayerX and "MPlayer OSX Extended", also mplayer on the command line. VLC is probably the best all-round media player for the Mac...

Apparently there is extra configuration needed for freedns.afraid.org. See http://inatech.eu/inadyn/readme.html for details.

Does the new iplayer still allow the stream to be saved?

fuse-ext2 also works on the Mac.

Black Hole, you are right. When I read the title of this thread, I thought the Op was playing a 16:9 recording, expecting a 16:9 output but got 4:3 (tall and narrow), and I assumed the Humax was set to pillar box mode. In that case, the cause is what I described and setting the PAR fixes it. For...

The PAR depends on the dimensions of your original recording. Wikipedia has a detailed description and examples.

The shape of a video depends on 2 things: the number of horizontal and vertical pixels that makes up each frame and the shape of each individual pixel, i.e. the pixel aspect ratio (PAR). When a video file doesn't play with the correct shape on the Humax, usually it is because the PAR is...

The discussion seems to be drifting from processing TS files to the Humax's optical output. The content of the TS file is whatever that is transmitted over the air. On Freeview HD, multi-channel audio is encoded in AAC. Freeview does not use Dolby Digital. The Humax will however convert AAC to...

Some TVs HDMI port supports 5.1 multi-channel audio input while others don't. The capability is established during the initial HDMI handshake. The Humax will output PCM audio regardless of the settings if the TV doesn't support 5.1 audio and the volume button will work just find in that case. If...

Looking good here. Thanks for the quick fix, af123.

There has been some discussions on the net about this problem (e.g. here). The problem occurs when the browser asks for a piece of css and the web server returns 304 (content not modified) but with an incorrect content type of text/plain. This is exactly what happens with the Humax webif. The...
