      Freeview LCN's 56 & 65: This service is currently not available.

      All OK on satellite ($ky, Freesat and FTA receivers), I believe. Also the LOcal TV versions are OK. Some speculation of reasons on DigitalSpy forum. It may be significant that only the Arqiva-encoded/owned muxes are affected. Local TV being Comux and Thats3 on the troublesome D3&4. That's...

      Persistent Pixelation on Playback

      Antenna power is only useful if there's an amplifier that can be remote powered in the path to the antenna. Some are designed to work at 5V (e.g. Optima by Vision - 5-12V rated), although most are 12V rated and either may not work at all or potentially give lower gain. With no amp you should...

      Cant connect using SAMBA from Windows 11 anymore

      Thanks Adrian. I've had no SMB access to my Foxsat-HDR since a Win 11 update (it was OK initially) and have wondered why exactly. You've explained that for me very clearly. I may as well disable SMB1 on this laptop. Makes using MediaInfo to determine if a recording is in 5.1 more painful...

      Persistent Pixelation on Playback

      Waltham doesn't broadcast on frequency ch48. AFAIK adjacent channel DTT is not the issue it was with analogue either. 5G 700 MHz filters will have insertion losses and lose some not entirely insignificant amount (up to 3dB?) at ch48 probably. Not that all of us have (or need) such filtering...

      As alluded to in the thread already we have had steady High Pressure about recently that might affect your reception https://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/work-warning/weather-warning/waw-high-pressure That is now changing, so stuff might improve (or not). Location (approx) or your Freeview...

      Remotes clash between Fox T2 and new Freesat boxes

      Installing the Custom Firmware will allow power off of the -T2 via the WebIF remote without affecting the 4k box state.

      Remotes clash between Fox T2 and new Freesat boxes

      I believe this is a known issue with the (Arris made) freesat 4k/recordable box https://www.freesat.co.uk/help/faqs/remote-interference? and all Humax PVRs. No fix as far as I know. See AVForums and DigitalSpy threads on the Arris / freesat 4k box for confirmation.

      Blank BBC Red Button Channel 250

      250 on my HDR-Fox-T2 ex Sandy Heath is fine, the colourful MHEG slate appears quite quickly. It's not my default channel on switch on if that makes a difference. My Panny OLED being HbbTV capable produces just a black screen for a variable length of time before a stark b&w text message appears...

      Vertical Tuner - sourcing

      But how? Re-pointing an aerial? Switching between aerials? We need @Peter H to come back and answer the transmitters and reception issue questions if possible. Remember these PVRs generally don't play well with a mix of English and Welsh EPGs.

      I didn't. I try not to assume too much. I can't think of a location where Wenvoe would be used but there is a Vp relay of West ITV/Bristol BBC in a similar direction off the top of my head. {Relays being Vp and mains Hp should need two aerials for best reception but RF is an art as much as a...

      I'd agree with that! Also what does a TV report as signal level/quality from the same muliplex frequencies. If the same poor reception for English TV then it's signal related not tuner sensitivity. I'd also be interested in exactly which two transmitters are involved and how the two aerials...

      BBC red button teletext

      It is 1080p on compatible devices - as is UHD in the "trial". That's been discussed and explained (almost ad nauseum, here and elsewhere). BBC simply have higher expenditure and development priorities (as much as I'd also like iPlayer to be 5.1 surround sound system viewers are still in a...

      BBC red button teletext

      Analogue TV Teletext services (BBC Ceefax, ITV Oracle/Teletext Ltd) were pretty revolutionary in providing information to the Public (and Trade) in an era (1974-75 onwards) where there was no other way so universally available.

      Missing Channels

      Thanks for the head up. Strangely (at least some of) those channels are duplicated, on different Tps, and still MP2 while others are MP4 according to scans taken on https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?live=69&mux=11954&liste=2&lang=en

      Audio issue following reset

      Sunwoofer-Amp is an inanimate object so IT would be correct English; although in French and German it is a masculine noun, so I'll forgive you. ;) As to the other part - "waning powers" - again. :cool:

      Then "It's Dead Jim" as Scotty would say - especially as all the other 5.1 sources you tried gave nowt out of the sub. I recently got new front speakers for my 7.2 Onkyo 515 and the sub makes quite a lot of 'white noise' during the calibration test tones (albeit the sub is a separate...
