    BBC HD on Vantage 7100S

    Does anyone know why my Vantage won't receive BBC HD on 28 degrees east? No matter how I scan for it - PIDs, manual scan, auto scan, re-scan - I've tried everything, even input the parameters with the channel editor and although it saves the channel, all I have is a black screen with the system message "No Video/Audio signal". ITV HD is perfect and the frequencies and all the parameters are correct! Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions would be great, Thanks

    It seem it cannot read the PMT.
    The best you can do is to log the PMT and send it to Vntage,so they understand how to fix it.
    I do find some channels that behave the same,and sometimes it just overwrite an existing one or just plain show it is saving it,and eventually doesn't.
    I do not think you can fix this on your own.
    What worked for me is sometimes if you use setedit,and set the channel to be kept as non-dvb/do not read pmt,it might stick. ( I don't remember what's the precise name)

    Tried it in setedit m8 and that didn't work either. Most annoying isn't it? I'll send the problem to Vantage and see if they can fix it. Thanks for the reply - cheers

    BBC HD is currently incorrectly broadcasting its AC3 stream with a PES ID of MPEG AUDIO which causes sound and picture problems with my VDR linux box.

    I have mailed BBC about it and they haven't responded.

    BBC HD 1W works fine, but schedule on it is completely different to that on 28.2E as it is not aimed at the UK market.

    I just received this from the BBC:

    Thank you for drawing this to our attention and we apologise for the
    disruption that this has caused to your reception.

    The BBC does advise viewers wanting to receive our services via satellite
    either to do so using Sky or Freesat receivers. As we do not test
    reception of our services on any other satellite receivers, we cannot
    promise glitch-free reception on receivers not made for the Sky or Freesat
    platforms.

    Nevertheless we do aim to comply with recognised broadcast standards such
    as those from the DVB and we can confirm that our current broadcasts are
    not compliant in the way that you have indicated. You are correct that Sky
    and Freesat receivers are agnostic to this particular signalling and that
    is why this was not picked up in our testing of our coders following a
    recent upgrade.

    We are working with our system suppliers and will aim to correct this
    signalling as soon as possible. However unfortunately this will not be
    until the new year as we are heading into the Christmas 'lockdown' where we
    make no changes to our platforms to ensure they remain stable.

    Yes works fine on 1W and on Passion but it SHOULD work fine on Vantage? Yet another pain in the ass with this potentially brilliant receiver. yawn

    Check if you pickup signal from Astra2D,transponder 10847 V,22000,5/6. ITVHD is not on this satellite{astra2D}.Check again.
    With Vantage7100HD I see BBCHD from Astra2D,scan without using put PIDs manual!Maybe you dont have signal from this satellite{Astra2D}.This is your problem!
