BBC HD reception problem

[dog-man]

I have a Thomson and didn't have to do any update.

Further to earlier replies re updating software in Thompson boxes. It's obvious that only some boxes are affected. I got an over air update sent to my box by Sky, and also did a manual update with no improvement.
The details of my box are: Model No. 902020, Version 4E 3007,
Op Sys. 1.32B12, EPG Software Sky+ 8.3.2. Perhaps those with problems could check theirs.
I still have no luck with my Panasonic TH-46PZ81B receiver. In both equipments CH5 HD is OK, so it seems as though the BBC HD update is not the same as other services

Interesting....Les, my box details are exactly the same as yours - and I still have the BBC HD problem. However, my friend's box also has the same details.........and her box works! The only difference between my box and her's is that I upgraded to a 1Tb disk. But I hardly thinks that's relevant.

[dog-man]

I have the same details also and I have no problems.


I also have a 1TB disk installed myself.

Me again......just found the solution on another forum!

You need to first remove any channels you have saved in "other channels". This may already fix the problem, but if not then do services,0,0,1, select and choose "new install".

I just did that and BBC HD and BBC One HD are now working correctly!

[Les_Laurentides]

Problem solved BBC HD all OK. You must delete all added channels then do a new install with card in.
Press "Services" . Press "0" Press "4". Then press "0" then "1" Press "Select. This launches installer menu. Press 6 to launch "new installation"

I have also solved my problem with my Panasonic PZ81B. The answer came from "*******". On some Freesat TVs, Auto retune does not get the updated BBC HD channels. You have to set the TV to "Shipping Condition", then switch off then switch on. After retune the two BBC HDS channels appear.
You@ll then have to restore your personalised settings for inputs etc.

thanks ive got an old thommy and would have been spewing if this wasnt resolved,already missing out on anytime+

[echelon]

Yes mate, they don't open as I said above - but on MY TM is says they are free to air = UN scrambled, that's my point and can anyone please explain why they don't open - especially when BBC is FTA in UK anyway?
(As a matter of interest, if they really ARE scrambled why doesn't it state in which encryption method, but states 'FTA'?):respect-069:

as your topic is completely unrelated to this one then you should have opened your own topic in the tm section

this topic is regarding the recent changes to the bbc channels on 28e and relates to sly boxes only

thanks

( ie:- do not hi jack other members threads with your own unrelated topics )

hi guys
I have tried 10847/V/23000/8/9 on the Db 8000 but it says no channels found. Anyone found them? Thanks - Brain

[saintomer1866]

Brain,
are your other settings correct too ?
10847 V DVB-S2, QPSK 23000 8/9
if you still have no joy then maybe try 10846 V or 10848 V

Also on my Vantage 7100hd no luck with bbc hd...no channels found.

Working here with :
10847 V DVB-S2, QPSK 23000 8/9

85% Signal

Try with a Channel List or settings for your receiver.
