Default ITV HD on Technomate 6800/6900 receivers working.

Just read on another forum that the ITV HD channel can be received on the TM6800 and TM6900 receivers.

I can't try it myself as I don't have one, but anyway, here are the details, posted on the darkside, but copied from som other unknown place. So credit to whoever it originally was. Apparently this is the procedure for the Clarke tech CT500, but works on the TMs too apparently. Worth a bash.

Quote:
So I use the free Clarke Tech NDF Editor from their web site and their utility. Here are the steps:

For CT NDFEdit:

a. tune in so you get Brit Shorts etc

b. take a copy of NDF

c. goto transponder 11.428 H

d. Make name ITV HD

e. Set up channel

Service ID: 0x290e

Service Type TV

PMT PID [leave blank]

PCR PID: 0x0d49

Video PID: 0x4d49

Audio PID: 0x0d4a

Check Mark AC3

Lastly and most importantly check the box, "Don't Update Video / Audio PIDs"
f. download to box and enjoy .

Basically there seems to be a difference in what people get the box to do via other setting editors than the CT one and the PMT PID being left blank was important, whilst the don't update audio and video PIDs stops the box being knocked out I think by the H.222... I think.

Or just load the latest Patch and scan 11.428 - it stores the channel automatically

Picture quality looks better than BBC HD

Need new glasses mate, its terrible it barely looks HD the logo is no doubt HD but I have my doubts that the actual promos are not SD upscaled.

The aerial shots over London are much higher quality than most of the BBC HD output - have you compared the two?
