Anyone who has been able to pickup ITV HD?
Is it software or hardver problem?

Not ASFIK, its because ITV are not using the normal H.264 compression for Mpeg4, ITV are using ( i think ) H.262.
So normal HD receivers can't see it, I do know that some guys with HD receivers have managed to get it so that gives us DB800 a chance.
What concerns me is I am sure H.262 is inferior to H.264 so why use it in the first place ?
I think its because they want to keep it on theis new freesat service only.
works ok on some cheap hd receivers fortec ect
I hope it comes within the next 48hours to the db, June 7th is the official launch day, and the football is on via the red button on freesat receivers.
Can anyone confirm if this works or not?You can manually add the following in services section of /etc/enigma2/lamedb
290e:011c0000:090b:003b:1:0
ITV HD

Yes, the solution works if your sat is listed as 28.4
mine is listed as 28.2 so i had to change the 011c0000 to 011a0000.
Credit goes to skippy who posted solution on DMM board.
Worked for me but only by unplugging the receiver after I'd edited and saved the lamedb file. I found the best way to check which value was correct (011c0000 or 011a0000) was to look at the BBC HD and Luxe HD entries in the lamedb file. In the tune menu the sat is listed as 28.2 on mine but all the values for that sat were listed as 011c0000 not 011a0000.
There is no degredation in quality - it is merely MPEG4 within an MPEG2 container. The reason they did it is that Sky HD digiboxes will not open them. I wonder if Sky will do a cheeky firmware upgrade as it is FTA, still they would need agreement to place it on the Sky EPG.
I'm surprised they got away with it as Sky is still a major shareholder in ITV.
Only getting audio. Screen displays radio mode.
works ok on tm6900hd with patch.
Just seen this on another forum but can't confirm if it works or not:
You need to add in your lamedb file
0f06:011a0000:090b:003b:134:0
ITV HD
p:BSkyB,c:000d49,c:030d49,c:040d4 a,c:050001,f:5
In the HD section near the bottom between BBC HD AND ITV4 HD
Save then send the settings to your DM 800 and all then works fine
