      BBC ONE HD Regional

      South Yorkshire will be due to the different ITV region (advertising and news) carried cf the BBC at that transmitter/group. Most likely be due to Sheffield (Crosspool) needing a separate SIPSI to cope with the 'anomaly'. {Similar to Brighton (Whitehawk Hill) for BBC Southeast and the...

      BBC ONE HD Regional

      There is no "South Yorks" BBC region ;) https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/articles/2023/changes-bbc-one-hd-freeview-youview-england HD for the lucky 6 - but upscaled SD for many all but London until studio kit is changed. The rest of us have to wait until the end of April.

      Lip-Sync issue

      All Freeview HD sets have to transcode the transmitted HE-AAC audio to Dolby Digital (2.0 or 5.1 programme-dependent) on the fly... I don't think that's a difficult process but it may be relevant? {HE-AAC is used as it's more code efficient and specifically allows the Audio Described sound...

      Suggestions for a USB Stick for installing the CF

      Ask friends, family, neighbours and work colleagues if they have some older small usb sticks you can borrow to install it? Small sticks and fat 32 in a single partition are what Raydon's readme.txt file recommends. The file is only some 10MB in size and someone may have one sitting in a...

      Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD

      Same TV make and model as the OP, or different? Check if changing any UHD colour space options on your TV while watching iPlayer The English fixes it and if that setting is also good for Frozen Planet and other UHD progs? No harm in contacting iPlayer with your findings (and details of your...

      :thumbsup_: Great! Native (to the pictures received) or Auto should have displayed with correct colour space one would have hoped. But thankfully you've found a solution that works for you. UHD HDR BT2020 has a wider colour gamut then Rec709 for SDR HD material so might appear 'different'...

      Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD

      Hmmm... that means IMHO the Samsung is playing silly beggars with the stream then and not auto changing to the correct colour space?? Have you checked for firmware updates on the TV? Does the 'Picture Clarity' work when in iPlayer on your TV (known issue for your model, link above)? Can you...

      Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD

      If your broadband speed was really 10 Mbit/s you'd not be getting the UHD stream at all... For normal iPlayer Are you still on ADSL? Or Fibre to the cabinet? Do run a wired Ookla speed test for recent accurate figures, as well as over wifi. You may have had improvements to speed due to...

      Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD

      On the Hisense I got to mine via the <Menu> button then <Settings Cog> which only offered the presets as far as I could see. But it was brief. I seem to remember it was different options on a Netflix programme with Dolby Vision; but could be mistaken. My Panny TV also has separate 'per input'...

      Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD

      I only did a little over 26 years in the broadcast industry taking redundancy early retirement in late 2006. So I am also well out of date on a detailed technical level as well. I say to check picture settings while watching a UHD source 'cos some options only come up when the source suits...

      Foxsat-HDR - New/Updated Package Download

      You need to tune to LCN 999 the Freesat Information channel and check/report back the Signal/Quality numbers. I suspect your dish is slightly off alignment and/or obscured by something (foliage). Affecting the Home Transponder chiefly (postcode lookup/tuning info/epg updates) on 11,425 MHz...

      No audio from non-HD Freesat channels

      For the Foxsat-HDR Dolby Digital = ON means bitsteam out for HD channels (and PCM stereo for SD). Dolby Digital = OFF means the -HDR downmixes Dolby from HD channels into stereo PCM and that is output. As the -HDR is connected to an AVR you will want the Dolby ON for the HD channels that...
