  HD content decryption problems.
  
  "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...

  New user.... Recording to DVD
  
  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.

  viewing decrypted SD .ts files on MacOS - VLC not working
  
  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...

  Mp4 files playing full screen when should be 16:9???
  
  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.

  Mp4 files playing full screen when should be 16:9???
  
  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...

  Some TVs HDMI port supports 5.1 multi-channel audio input while others don't. The capability is established during the initial HDMI handshake.
