      Raydon 4.1.3 compatibility

      Yes they do work for me. I posted after having tried some (old) Foxsat recordings on the -T2 disk. The -T2 produced a .hmi file for the one I watched and trick played. NB hmi not t; I suspect it just stores the resume play pointer. I only used to transfer files when we went in out touring...

      Raydon 4.1.3 compatibility

      One only needs to lose the .hmt files from a Foxsat recording to 'not upset' the -T2 in playing the foxast .ts stream. The .nts file can remain... Trick play, skip fwd/back works fine then (for my Foxsat record / -T2 playback combo). No thumbnails though, to choose to skip to... as I don't...

      DAB+

      Is it not possible to store the wanted stations on both banks, A and B so it doesn't matter if shift is pressed first?

      Faulty Preamp PSU Caused Humax Reception Problems on Some Muxes

      Certainly I intend to be helpful. I was (well) paid to do the same work in the '90s. Give Justin at ATV a call, I'm fairly sure he'll tell you who supplies him with the specific antennas? Guildford is now effectively a main transmitter (one of the 81 original DTT sites) - dual line fed (a...

      Faulty Preamp PSU Caused Humax Reception Problems on Some Muxes

      Al the main 6 muxes at CP are from the same antennas and have the same, nominal, effective radiated powers and pattern (there are minor, and I mean minor variations with frequency of course). All six should be received at near-equal level. My gut is saying there's cancellations and...

      DAB+

      DAB+ uses the more recent AAC codecs cf the old DAB MP2. So should sound equally 'as good' at the proposed reduced bitrate. Classic FM is dynamic range compressed (Optimod style) so lossy codec bitrates possibly won't matter too much? On satellite they use MP2 joint stereo at 192kbit/s; On...

      DAB+

      DAB was an EU collaboration, the Eureka-147 project way back in the 1980/90s. DAB was fairly widely used in Europe for many years. Google the subject... https://www.worlddab.org/ may be of interest. Europe has just adopted the later audio codecs for DAB+ sooner than the UK.

      Audio Cable Mystery

      The description sounds a bit like this stuff https://www.canford.co.uk/CANFORD-FST-FOIL-SCREENED-STRANDED-CONDUCTOR-TWIN-CABLE (perhaps a picture of yours might help)? It's not stereo cable. Decent stuff would have individual screening around each of the two cores. XLR in 3 pin form is a...

      TVI FAULT

      Reading the 'other thread' the OP has very basic if not poor technical knowledge. The interference claims to be coincidental with an addition (by whom and why?) of mobile phone filtering to the antenna. Restore TV (formerly AT800) generally will only fit those outside when external...

      AR quirk ... maybe

      There's an awfully long thread on the freesat 4k box on AVForums where this might have been discussed? One other place to look is DigitalSpy where an ex-colleague who was the de facto expert on PDC and AR, posts. Each box/maker will design how they work within the specs for DVB, with...

      TVI FAULT

      A Radio Ham (fully Licensed one hopes) that thinks a passive 4G/5G low-pass filter inserted in a UHF TV antenna system might be the issue (unless poorly installed) and has no idea on how to check that (e.g. by removal, temporarily). My mind boggles. Is use of such a large gain collinear...

      Humax And Twin LNB

      $ky Q has no legacy mode afaik. Wideband or dSCR only. $ky simply swap the universal/legacy LNB for a wideband one reusing the old cables. freesat 4k boxes have all 3 LNB type compatibility. dSCR comes as standalone LNB or in Multiswitch forms using inputs from Quattro or Quad (or even 1 or 2...

      Humax And Twin LNB

      [Off Topic] AFAIK only the $ky Q and freesat 4k boxes use the wideband LNB. Other multituner devices tend to use dSCR single-cable options (that Q and freesat 4k can also use) to 'instruct' the head-end to send the wanted Transponder down that single cable. Even the Foxsat-HDR has an early SCR...

      Can someone help please - interference on picture

      Sounds to be a different problem to me as it's occasional rather than 'regular' timing. No harm in installing the CF and using the disk diagnostics though. READ the faq manuals and stuff first. There's quite a bit of (not difficult) learning about what the whole thing does and what you need...

      Picture break up on Aura

      Rowridge Vp was Planned by UK Spectrum planners to protect from co-channel Continental transmitters using Hp. They expected new aerial install/replacement in the areas served to use Vp rather than Hp (and eventually not need Hp transmit). Then Arqiva did the COM7/8 thing. ;) How was the aerial...

      Picture break up on Aura

      None of the professional spectrum planning prediction tools can account for building clutter nor trees. That stuff is simply not mapped fully, nor necessarily accurate and up to date. So the public domain ones simply cannot, either. It's why installers have test aerials and calibrated...

      Trees then. Reception killers and variable frequency attenuators/reflectors giving standing waves and other issues. Especially when wet and windy. Probably not possible to get 'under' the foliage for a clearer view with an aerial?. Grid aerials are fairly good at receiving through foliage...
