ITV3 problem from Mendip this evening

I've noticed that ITV3 (from Mendip) is misbehaving on my Humax PVR9200T
this evening.

When you switch to the channel, the first 10 seconds are silent. Then
there's a half-second blanking during which the sound arrives, after
which all is back to normal. If I try to record, however, the recording
is completely silent. In the past the channel has always been fine.

It's the only channel which is misbehaving, and I've just done a
complete rescan to see if that corrects it -- nope. Any ideas?

Matti

PS I've also noticed that the EPG for ITV3 is completely empty, unlike
the other channels.

I'm also using Mendip, and when the changes occurred on Monday, ITV3
moved from 10 to 306.

OK here.

Same here.

Hmm. That's in the range of channel numbers which seem usually to be
used for the BBC's MHEG red-button channelettes. The Radio Times lists
ITV3 as channel 10 throughout the week.

I've just done another rescan and channel 10 is still the defective
version of ITV3 described above. However, there's another ITV3 on
channel 800 which works perfectly and so does its EPG. What the hell is
going on? Who can I complain to?

I got in a right old pickle with both my Toppy, and my lad's Alba.

Do a complete re-set and then full rescan.

Oh for a closed propriety EPG like Sky's

The Humax, from its System menu, tells me that both these versions of
ITV3 are being carried in the mux on analogue channel 55 from Mendip, so
presumably that mux's structure is currently incorrect in some way. I
don't think resets or rescans on the Humax will help further.

Or more likely, the Humax is remembering the old Mux configuration from
the previous rescan.
Have you followed the excellent advice from Mark?

I'm not sure what he meant by "a complete re-set", unless it's reverting
to the factory settings. This will, I think, clear out my recording
schedule, which would be a pain to re-enter. Given that I've had the
Humax for a couple of years and hence lived through plenty of channel
reconfigs without this problem, could it really be required?

I meant a complete tuning re-set, I'm not familiar with your machine though.

In Hummy-speak perhaps 'Default Reset'. You're not alone it would seem:-

Yes, I've just visited that forum and found the thread. It seems that a
'rescan' preserves existing channels and adds any new ones; I'd assumed
it cleared them all down and started afresh. The simplest solution to
my ITV3 problem was to delete that duff version on channel 10 before
doing the rescan. In future I'll precede any rescan with a blanket
deletion of all channels, I think.
