      Channel 4 HD blips

      Get the Custom Firmware installed on (both?) -T2s and then post some .TS snips of the issue from a recorded file more accurately? NB You have still not answered which Region / kit is affected. I am also on Sandy Heath like Owen Smith and might do some C4 HD recordings on my -T2 (although we...

      Channel 4 HD blips

      That's a big advertising region for C4: it covers: BBC East (ex Norwich) BBC Southeast (ex Tunbridge Wells) BBC South (ex Southampton) BBC Southwest (ex Plymouth) BBC West (ex Bristol) BBC Wales (ex Cardiff) Channel Islands ITV, not sure if BBC opt still or cover from Plymouth?

      Channel 4 HD blips

      As the recorded stream of a channel is identical to the live... any inherent stream problems would (or should) be seen on both live and recorded instances of an identical stream. Of course there are multiple sets of encoders, duplicated at two sites and an issue on one set of encode and mux may...

      Series record issue.

      We've got a fair way through some such labelled programmes before realising we've seen it.. and only record HD satellite / Freeview so that doesn't apply (no C5 spin offs in HD and in the clear). Newk addon to CF fixes that for me most of the time ;) "The" <insert rest of programme name> can...

      Or, better(imho), would be Series (aka Season) and Episode numbers in the info part of the EPG we use to set recordings. At least then one can check when the season was first broadcast! Other broadcasters label programmes New: when they are old repeats (C5) often enough. Just don't get me...

      Arq A/Com 5 problems

      Call the aerial installer back under Guarantee... it was only 6 months ago. It may only need the aerial raising up a bit to change the signal level on the Arq A frequency (maybe at the expense of one of the others, though). Wolfbane predicts for that provided postcode at 10 metres above the...

      Arq A/Com 5 problems

      Doh! Of course not. But it is sort of true when in the manual tuning sub menu, when the metering is shown. (Waning powers mean I wasn't 100% clear first time ;) ). Used it frequently when caravanning to find the best transmitter from known frequencies with the HDR and moving the aerial...

      Arq A/Com 5 problems

      What is the purpose of ITV3+1 & ITV4+1?

      The ITV N +1s seem to have a full schedule on Freesat according to my Foxsat-HDR therefore also on $ky, I expect... Possibly on Virgin cable, too. Albeit only SD format, but for how much longer ITV will keep them gong I have no idea. Freeview it's a lack of capacity and selling that to higher...

      "Is ITVX on Aura a lesser version?"

      HD live picture break up now HD mux is on offset channel

      Tuner offset will be well inside any Automatic Frequency Correction (AFC) circuitry within the bought-in tuner blocks that the -T2 uses. The number displayed will just be a limitation due to some lookup table within the software Humax wrote for the display of it. NB Offsets are +/- 167 MHz...

      HDR-fox-T2 poor signal strength

      If you were the Humax design engineer you'd know. You are not and do not. Just masking assumptions. BH you are just acting as an AH again.

      HDR-fox-T2 poor signal strength

      I have no absolute faith that Q of 100% on any humax = zero (uncorrectable?) errors. On Foxsat-HDR the Q can be less than 100 with no obvious artefacts seen. OPs Sony was reporting received errors, but all were correctable, on a different outlet/cable. So it is a bit of a mystery... without...

      HDR-fox-T2 poor signal strength

      So fitting the filter (should have) ruled out 5G / 4G interference. EDIT Therefore it's probably not needed. But you now have 80% Q rather that 100% form the other day so more errors in the received signal for whatever reason. S at 48% staying the same. I refer you back to my earlier post...
