Closed Poll Have you had problems recording the new HD channels?

@Will42: according to to the ukfreetv website (I know it is not an official website): http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=IJ287750 Divis is now transmitting the com7 multiplex (BBC Four HD etc.) on channel 33. It is low power though so reception may not be good in all areas.

Both versions are posted on the open forum. It apparently is connected with future portal services for the Winter Olympics.

www.digitaluk.co.uk is showing it as being transmitted and what is the more likely power of 10.5 kiloWatts compared to ukfreetv's 4.4 kiloWatt. Still low power either way.

Do you have a link please Graham, as I can't seem to find anything on My Humax forum.

 

[grahamlthompson]

My error, not available in the open forum. Sorry. As I said sure it won't make any difference

Lark Stoke - Family Guy and American Dad series reservation

HDR FOX T2 - All recorded
HD FOX T2 - None recorded.

Not surprised the problem is proving hard to identify, it's seriously weird. Your transmitter appears to have an influence, your box type also does.

At least since the HDR FOX T2 did start working on BBC 3 HD the results have at least been consistant. HDR FOX T2 100% success, HD FOX T2 0% success.

I've now got Sudbury on 2 boxes which always records CBBC HD OK, but always have zero nts for BBC3 HD.
And on another box I have Sudbury which after a retune a few days ago now always records both those channels OK.
Sandy Heath also behaving after a retune.

I've also got Crystal Palace on 1 box which always records CBBC HD OK, but always has zero nts for BBC3 HD.
And for this one a retune has made no difference - all the BBC3 HD are still failing with the <30sec error.

 

[grahamlthompson]

That's bizarre

HDR FOX-T2 S/W 1.02.32 Heathfield Sussex TX
All 3 recordings on BBC3 HD last night were fine, that's 100% over the last 3 days.
I'll continue with the test recoedings, but only post in the event of failed recordings.

Oxford transmitter, BBC3 HD.

Listed as zero length recording.

 

[IGK]

Crystal Palace. Failed timer recordings on BBC 3 and 4 HD 100% of the time still.

I think I've hit problems with BBC3 HD from Northwich (Cheshire). Is that Winter Hill? How can I tell?

 

[Black Hole]

This will tell you:

[Luke]

Or this which auto ticks for the detail view
http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/coveragechecker/main/index/dummy/NA/yes

Paul, you will need to tune to the channel then use the HDR-FOX T2s Signal Detection to lookup what the current frequency channel is.
MENU >> Settings >> System >> Signal Detection

Then locate that number on the digital uk coverage checker once you've got the details up for your postcode.

Is there way of changing that so that it auto ticks for the detail.

I have just changed the link so that it auto ticks.

I can watch BBC3 HD on Freeview channel 105 from the Hannington transmitter - reception is fine - but if I record it, I get a zero-length recording. However, logging in to the Hummy from my PC, I can see that the file size is correct (e.g. 5.56 Gb for a movie) - so it has actually recorded, it just doesn't know it!

 

[Black Hole]

That's about the size of it, and what this topic is all about.

My BBC THREE HD and BBC FOUR HD recordings from Winter Hill have all been successful for more than a week, I wonder if the BBC have made some changes.
