Stereo/surround sound - (was ITV Local News Midlands (HD and SD swap))
I'm not convinced that is always the case, or that it doesn't get molested later in the chain for satellite. I watched season 2 of Gentleman Jack a couple of weeks ago and that was a co-production. On BBC1 Freeview HD it was in 5.1 sound.- Owen Smith

Stereo/surround sound - (was ITV Local News Midlands (HD and SD swap))
I don't have any saved recordings so I can't disprove that. BUT, I would have noticed and I'm certain it was in 5.1 on Freeview HD. With the money from the US tie up it was the most expensively made series Dr Who by far, so there's no reason for it to be in stereo when prior series were in 5.1.- Owen Smith

Stereo/surround sound - (was ITV Local News Midlands (HD and SD swap))
Freeview HD does not do that. Channels change between 2.0 and 5.1, heck on Channel 4 you can be watching a 5.1 film and the adverts have 2.0 sound and my AVR has to resync (which is quite quick on this model). BBC Freeview HD channels regularly switch between 5.1 and 2.0. Gentleman Jack was in...- Owen Smith

Stereo/surround sound - (was ITV Local News Midlands (HD and SD swap))
That only tells you the bit rate of what was being broadcast last time it sampled the mux. I think that is what was being broadcast at the time. My Arcam AVR31 clearly tells me whether my Humax HDR Fox T2 is outputting Dolby Digital 2.0 or 5.1 so I can easily tell. I'm aware this is a...- Owen Smith

Not true. 5 HD on Freeview HD frequently have 5.1 sound when they show a film.- Owen Smith

It wouldn't make them any additional advertising revenue so being ITV they don't care. Same reason they're the only Freeview HiDef channel that never transmits 5.1 sound.- Owen Smith

Channel 4 HD blips
I think it's months since I've watched anything on Channel 4, they've gone off the boil as a channel for me. Most stuff I watch is on BBC channels, plus Channel 5 amazingly.- Owen Smith

Remote Scheduling - I haven't received a confirmation email
I'm getting emails fine from the RS server now. My problem was it had already scheduled the previous series for me in 2023.- Owen Smith

RS failed on *Astrid*Paris*
I've used the web UI to clear all the log files on both HDR Fox T2s to zero length, I hadn't realised just how long ago some of them started. I've also done my annual retune on both boxes, it was 24 Jan 2024 last time (I can tell from the last saved schedule backup).- Owen Smith

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. I'd found that on playing with the auto event for my second box. I'll have to remember to use it once the last episode has aired.- Owen Smith

RS failed on *Astrid*Paris*
I've just updated packages on my boxes, I probably last did it 6 months to a year ago. But RS was not among the packages updated so I was already on the latest RS. And what is wrong with files that start 10 years ago? Old files don't stop working. I don't spend my time needlessly deleting or...- Owen Smith

RS failed on *Astrid*Paris*
If I delete and recreate the auto events in RS, finding the matching events no longer says it informed me of them in 2023. Whether is is a broadcaster error re-using series IDs or a bug in RS I can't say. EDIT: Using the Reset option on the auto event also clears the date it last informed me. I...- Owen Smith

Yes for both HDR Fox T2s. Appears in queued commands list on both boxes and eventually in recording schedule on both boxes (I scheduled a reboot on them both in RS). No, never used that.- Owen Smith

RS failed on *Astrid*Paris*
Network errors are expected evening of 18 Jan, power was out to a third of the estate for 40 minutes and that included the FTTC cabinet so I had no broadband. Clearly it has no working battery backup, it died immediately the power went out. Fortunately for me the lights just flickered briefly.- Owen Smith
