No mention of Freeview, which has been where the problem lies
for me
- I was able to record from BBC4 HD OK on Freesat.

I recorded both episodes of 'The Bridge' on BBC Four HD without
difficulty (Freeview).

Having just checked my Humax, it has no BBC4 HD channel, 106,
tuned in. Maybe I need a retune, but I don't worry about the HD
channels, so it won't worry me if it doesn't find it. Is this the
referenced 'problem'?

BBC$ HD is only available on 1 or 2 transmitters at this stage so
chances are you will not be able to receive it yet.

Yes, indeed. I see that my retune date is today, so I'll do that this
evening.


I tried it at 6 pm, and it still didn't have BBC4 HD. Maybe tomorrow.

Unlike SD files, HD files are not decrypted when you copy them to an

As I have the software I didn't bother to remember whether it was
needed or not.

Have a read of the thread and see what it says.

I just copy SD files from my recent Humax to a thumbdrive, and then I
watch them on my PC. I don't see any encryption, unless Ubuntu is a
more sophisticated OS than I thought.

The software on the Humax automatically removes the encryption from an
SD file as you copy it off, meaning you are at liberty to play it on
another Humax box or by any other method you have available to you.

This is not so for HD files.

HDs remain encrypted when they are copied off the Humax and can
therefore not be played on any other device, including another Humax.
They can only be played on the Humax that recorded them.

The custom software allows you to set an option that causes all HD files
to be decrypted as soon as they are recorded or alternatively you can
decrypt individual files as and when required.

Ah, OK. I didn't know that SD files were encrypted in the first place.
Why bother, if they are decrypted when copied to an external device?

Note BBC4 does not start until 19:00, but earlier you should see a
page saying that.

Malcolm

And I should at least see the Ch. on the EPG.

Just rechecked the webpage, and today it's saying that there is no BBC4
HD for me yet. Oh well.

Yes, see my other message. That's not how I interpreted it the other
day, though. Oh well.

Don't forget that Mux 7 will be on UHF Ch 31 from Taccy, well outside
the legacy aerial group C/D (UHF 48-68) so if you don't have a Wideband
you may still not be able to receive, or receive terribly well.
