I did start off my post #52 with ‘Against my better judgement’ now you know why.
Indeed.

ParticipantWhat if anything have Freesat to say about this fiasco ? 😳
It appears from all the evidence that anyone with a Freesat box/TV has a epg disappearing one day ahead every 24hrs, and all we get is platitudes and responses from so called customer advisors working from a script that clearly is completely inadequate . 😳
If nothing is done by Tuesday then anyone with a Freesat+ box will only be able to record using manual timers.
Anyone heard about Nero fiddling while Rome burns, AKA ITV ignores the issue till the next viewing figures reveal a sudden and dramatic drop in viewing figures, followed by a drop in advertising revenues and the share price dropping.

All due to technical incompetence, how do we make them sit up and take notice (Complaint to OFCOM for instance).

InactiveBear in mind that Freesat viewers of ITV are in the minority compared to those watching on Freeview who are fine so the affect on viewing figures is correspondingly lower.

And many Freesat viewers, including me, will make other arrangements rather than miss seeing the programmes they want to see.

That includes me, but so many do not have the alternative choices.

Watch or record the SD simulcast?

Why should owners of Freesat+ pvrs have to record inferior pictures ?
I realise there are workarounds (including manual recordings), none of them should be required.

I think we’re talking at cross-purposes. I’m talking about the reasons the ratings aren’t likely to dip all that much – users will watch the programmes and be counted, despite the missing ITV1 HD.

Makes sense but even if a tiny proportion of Freesat viewers complain that’s a lot of complaints. Incidentally watching the Cube from last night on AR and series recording. Lost the end

InactiveIt does also seem extraordinarily incompetent of ITV not to have even clocked that there’s a problem.

InactiveIt seems more incompetent of Freesat if they were to allow this situation to continue….it is their platform that is being made to look bad, compared to their competetors Freeview.

ParticipantEPG is back

ModeratorHoorah, was not there at 8 o’clock when I checked.
Edit:
No SD → HD linkage on HB 1000S though, appears to be OK on Foxsat, will check a HDR 1000S in a moment.

InactiveNormal EPG here on my 1010S but still no SD to HD option.
March 3, 2014 at 11:40 am #51033Anonymous
InactiveI just received EXACTLY the same, word-for-word, response from ITV as they sent last Friday. However, the EPG is now there and without the need to re-tune my 1010S. As with fixerman though, still no SD to HD option. Lets see how long it lasts!
