      Subtitles

      I am assuming you are not watching freesat on the TVs, and rather using Freeview tuners i.e. not quite comparing the same thing? It's possible the satellite reception might be a data corruption thing; although odd if only the subtitles. Check if you are using the Teletext subs or the DVB...

      Subtitles

      Foxsat-HDR can record and display two types of subtitle: Teletext and DVB subs. They may be subtly different in display and performance? Possibly. The (now retired) expert on BBC subs and technical kit for them is over on the DigitalSpy forum. Live subtitling is more prone to errors than...

      No HD channels in SW France?

      Terrestrial is affected under certain weather conditions due to enhanced propagation (distant transmitters seen that aren't normally); sometimes caused by signals 'bouncing' off the atmosphere. THAT can't happen with a dish pointing into space. Certain times of year you will get sun...

      No HD channels in SW France?

      Really need some more tests of any working frequencies on the Humax. Both tuners give very similar numbers usually and no need to document both, nor type out the parameters in future measurements. 159 = Hi V doesn't work (possibly?) 202 = Hi H does work (and quite well, too). along with the...

      No HD channels in SW France?

      Manual section 10.1 page 55. First tune to the channel you want to check (101, 999, 159 etc.,.) Exit out of that. Change channel you are viewing and repeat. (It's easier than it sounds typed out like that) The diagnostic meter shows info for the channel being watched/tuned. I don't think...

      Miscellaneous Purchasing Advice/Recommendations

      No HD channels in SW France?

      Not really. Two of those are on the same transponder. Both Tps are LO band. Do you have a Foxsat-HDR?? Why are you not quoting figures from that rather than this TV? What does LCN 999 the Home Transponder 11425 H report? 159, Yesterday SD on 12129 V (Hi band)? 202, Sky News on 11836 H ? So...

      No HD channels in SW France?

      But ALL HD channels missing??? (If that's an accurate statement, as in my reckoning "all others are fine" would include the SD ones on a shared transponder - eg the Channel 5 bouquet)? I know nothing of Samsung TV sat tuners - is it possible to accidentally by 'finger trouble' delete all the...

      No HD channels in SW France?

      OK so there has been - apart from the launch of Channel 4 HD regions - no change to any broadcast parameters in that time frame. All BBC tweaking was completed in March and we are, today, now in May. As it's alright leaving them it is a problem your end. IMHO you can't conclude that from the...

      No HD channels in SW France?

      Errrm I was talking about the Foxsat-HDR you mentioned. That's a new one... Now it's a TV and you get some channels. You need to go through the transponder frequencies for the channels you get/want methodically and use a meter such as the -HDR has to check if there's a pattern (Hi/Lo...

      No HD channels in SW France?

      When did it all last work correctly? Satellites don't / can't change beam settings on the fly as far as I know. Broadcasters do move to different transponders which may have different beam patterns. BBC are using much the same Tps as they always have (after a lot of shuffling and use of...

      Humax Aura 4K BBC iPlayer menu looks very cloudy/hazy compared my Roku stick?

      Most decent quality TVs make a better job of upscaling content than the cheaper upscaler in devices. Most would choose to take the native resolution of a source (SD/HD/4k) from a box and let the TV do the better job. One needs to go through the obvious things to eliminate an simpler issue...

      Thanks for the file(s). My -T2 is under-used, in the kitchen and touring caravan mainly so I'm not fully au fait with all the -T2 features sadly. 😢 One day, maybe? I have similar Foxsat-HDR recordings, unencrypted. You can't decrypt Foxsat recordings after the event. But the -T2 and...

      Lip-Sync issue

      You do if you do a minimum of investigation (e.g. check digutalbitrate link) and/or read the FFFFFFF thread properly where i stated (bold now added) AAC is not MPEG. Freeview HD spec doesn't permit any other audio format, nor any other video codec Lord help us!!! That'll be a foible of your...

      Lip-Sync issue

      @Black Hole :RTFM: page 48 In Humax speak "Multichannel" = bitstream = Dolby Digital, except for MPEG audio when it's PCM out "Stereo" = all are PCM stereo Two channels can count as multichannel if you want to really try and split hairs.

      Lip-Sync issue

      Great. The .TS file of the BBC Lip Sync segment could, perhaps, be shared with the OP (and others, myself included) to eyeball measure sound - vision delays? All we'd need to do is upload it to our -T2s (or other Freeview HD PVRS, where they permit) and play it {may need AV2HDR for -T2 to...

      Lip-Sync issue

      5Select is indeed on the BBC B multiplex; and in all Nations and Regions. Digitalbitrate reports it as 96 kbit/s AAC. So it will be transcoded to DD 2.0 in any Freeview HD receiver. HD channels are all 128 kbit (stereo 2.0) or 320 kbit/s for 5.1 surround. (Plus a 48 kbit Narration (audio...

      How do TV programmes get from the broadcaster to the transmitters?

      Fibres (was supplied by BT as point to multipoint when I was in the know; likely superseded by later iP cloud technology) and a more recent satellite backup, for the BBC. Dual fibres to each site, diversely routed so that one fault doesn't take the site off air. Satellite backup - used in...
