Here are some analyser screenshots taken when Emley Moor was testing the post-DSO muxes overnight on 15/16th March. I can’t be arsed to do this neatly, so the sets of pics are just screengrabs, warts and all. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11023364/Emley%20tests%20Mar%202011/screenshot%201.jpg Screenshot 1, left to right, top row first: 8530: Normal transmission 8535/6/7: services go off one by...

Has been showing the "Sorry no regional programmes" card and is now showing the same prog as BBC1 SD with a 5 sec lag. Bill

on two humax pvr9200t digital recorders based in the nw london area the bbc world service keeps jumping to bbc 1 after a minute or two. is this likely to be a bbc broadcasting issue? i went to the bbc website and they make it impossible to find a place to complain about such a problem.

Photographed this on my walk to work this morning:- http://www.markyboy.net/vmbox.jpg (850k) Last week, the daisy chained white cable ties were half way up the cabinet, holding the door closed, quelle surprise this morning it looks like this. Curiously the vandals haven't ripped the guts out (yet) I don't know who's the dimmest. The vandals, or Virgin Media for such a pathetically...

The default setting for the power saving function is 'ON' but in that mode the UHF loop-through is disabled. I would have thought that most people would want to be able to have the telly on when the Humax box was off. Seems an odd thing to me, and counter-productive because it means that the power saving function will be switched off in most cases. Certainly that's what I've done. Very nice...

HI all, Before I try to drag my elderly (80+) and less than mobile Dad round a few TV shops I thought I'd see if there may be an answer, or at least general direction that could be gleaned here please. They are looking to replace their ~36" CRT wide screen TV with a new flat panel jobby but whilst one could walk into the likes of Tesco and come out with something that would probably do, I think...

My wife's elderly Aunt had the Digital Help Scheme man arrive today to fix her for DTV - my wife was in attendance. The guy looked at the aerial and cable and said both were good - they should be, I only installed them in January! He went inside, connected up the (TIVO?) STB and couldn't get anything - yes BBC1 and a couple of other stations but heavily pixelated and mostly frozen (I could...

QUOTE Just set a grundig hd box up it scanned for multiplexes then asked which region it said teeside yorkshire and south yorkshire So can choose which transmitter to use instead of tuning all in and putting the weaker transmitter on 800 END OF QUOTE

Emley Moor will be off from midnight until 6am tonight and tomorrow night. Bill

By half past midnight everything was off except analogue C5 and the HD mux. Bill

The aerials aren't the only digital things on this picture http://www.flickr.com/photos/g3zvt/5529459961/ If you like the clock you might me amused by this little video clip I uploaded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy6Y_NWckEA There's an LP in this picture but you might need to download and to zoom into it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/g3zvt/5530075504/sizes/l/in/photostream/

To cut a long story short, I've recently acquired two Televes Avant 5 compact headend units along with a PCT3.0 prgrammer, with no mains leads or data cables and an incorrect instruction book Using a bog standard Telefunken mains lead (as found on casstte players of years ago) and a standard 2m length or ethernet patch lead, (thanks to this venerable newsgroup) I've succeeded in programming...

A bit vague, but I thought I'd try. My parents have a Samsung LE26R74BD LCD TV, that is wall mounted. This was supposed to be the best selling 26" LCD in UK ... so must be a few out there. They have just bought a larger TV to go on that wall mount, and wish to put the original TV on a 'desk top/pedestal stand. One came with the TV .. but they can't find it (probably still in box when they...

True Entertainment tonight: A film about the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan. Bill

Yes I am one of those old gits (not to mention tight sods as well, it's my mothers fault she was a jok) who refuse to dump there CRT in for one of these flat jobbies, so I'm looking for suggestion for a simple Freeview box that works via an RF modulator, I already have a couple of 9200T (one in bedroom one in living room), but want a simple box for normal viewing in living when Crystal...

I always switch my Humax 9200 (using latest firmware) back to stand-by at night. The following day, when I come to switch it on, even though the clock appears on the display, it comes on extremely quickly - i.e. without the usual run up - as if it is actually on. The only other times I have known this happen are if you switch it on less than 15 minutes before a scheduled recording - which is...

I know that I shall not see the benefit of HD on 19 inch TV. However, in order to be able to watch all the available Freeview channels , such as BBC HD, Freeview HD is needed. And yes, I now that programs on BBC HD tend to be repeats but, the scheduled time may just suit me and, without Freeview HD, I would not have the option to watch it. Also, I do not want a big TV in my bedroom or...

A friend contacted me to say "I have my Humax 9300T set to record both The Killing and Casualty on a Saturday in the Recording schedule . One starts at 21:00 the other at 21 :10. 21:10 Casualty has recorded but not The Killing !!!! What's happened here ? " Don't watch "The Killing", but did anyone else suffer?

The BBC HD channels are transmitted from Crystal palace on channel 31 at half the power level of the SD channels. I live in a marginal reception area, and whilst I can receive 4 of the Freeview muxes perfectly, the mux on channel 32 has a low quality level, and the mux on channel 34 is useless most of the time. Is there anyway of determining whether I can receive the HD channels OK other...
