Will we ever be able to view the likes of CCTV, Motors or JSTV on the HDR-T2? I just want to know if compatibility with these channels is on the todo list and new firmware one day will support them?
Andy
Motors TV is on FreeView Channel 71.
Just done a re-tune as I could not get comunity on 63 and I am talking about CCTV on 226, Motors on 240 and JSTV on 246.

Those channels are received via the internet. Afaik only the newer HDR1800T and HDR2000T are able to access these (and has the required hardware).
Which transmitter do you get your terrestrial channels from ?
Motors TV is on COM 7 which isn’t available from all transmitters and is significantly lower power from those that do have it.

Can you not get 71, then?
I wouldn’t have thought there’s much likelihood of ever getting the IP channels.
I get my signal from Crystal Palace where COM7 is on 33. My T2 is on my home network and I can see it from my PC that’s why I ask about the channels.

Only IP content on a HDR FOX T2 is via the TV portal.
I also get signal from Crystal Palace. No trouble getting 71. Did the retune get you 63?
No I don’t get anything between 70 CBS Action and 101 BBC ONE HD I am missing two channels i think. I will try a manual tune of 33 when I can but the T2 is recording at the mo.

Andy
Can’t imagine it ever happening on the hdr-t2, even if you find them they’ll be incompatible
Just booted up a huawei YouView box and even this says, just like the humax, they’re incompatible with that device however; I can get JSTV on a different YV channel again by ‘setting it up’ i.e. paying for it.
iirc these were the sort of channels that used to crash the boxes on older firmware. I’ve almost gone the other way, wanting to get rid of everything except for 101 – 124 and iplayer, it’d cause too much trouble though in the household.
OK next time I buy a Free view box then …. I will check its specs to make sure it will receive all I want not that its such a big issue now.

Humax YouView boxes can now receive some of the Arqiva IP channels – no payment required. They’re not the FreeView version though – that requires MHEG-IC, still not implemented on YouView and perhaps never will be.

Just done a manual re-tune on channel 33 and I have got 71 Motors TV and 73 DAYSTAR. Hope Humax sort out MHEG-IC before my T2 dies though as I like their boxes and they have a good reputation.

I believe the Humax HDR-2000T / 1800T boxes can receive the Arqiva channels.
Arqiva give some info on compatibility at http://www.arqiva.com/home/connect-tv-faqs.html
Thank you JamesB, the site was interesting.
