InactiveForgive me if I’m stating the ble**in obvious, but since BBC1 & BBC2 HD work fine, and in my case BBC3 HD does not. Isn’t it logical that there is a difference in the transmitted data by either the BBC, Red Bee, or whoever inserts this data. My question is if it is part of the spec, why has it been changed?

InactiveI’m still unable to record BBC3 HD via the Heathfield TX on my HDR fox T2. As a retired broadcast engineer I would feel that I had let the customer down over this problem. BBC, Humax should be ashamed, nobody has even acknowledged that a problem exists for at least 2 weeks.
Sadly I must say that I’m glad to be out of it.

I agree it is pretty dreadful that neither the BBC nor Humax have even acknowledged the problem exists, never mind where the fault may lay or when it might get fixed. Sadly this is normal service (or lack thereof) for Humax.

ModeratorThe BBC rarely, if ever admit to any mistakes on their part, even when they are to blame.
I’ve already reported that Humax Towers were alerted, and that means to someone who can and does make a difference, however
with all platforms in lockdown for the holiday period there was not much chance of a fix forthcoming for public release.
I’ll update when there is something new to publish.

ModeratorAnyone else check this out…
BBC 3 HD recordings appear to working for me as of tonight on HD/HDR T2 and HDR 2000T.
Edit: Now realised why timers started working See this post

InactiveI managed to record The Bridge on BBC Four HD on Saturday. I’ve changed nothing, just thought I’d give it another go and it worked!

Thanks for the heads up, if I get a failed recording I’ll check it out. So far though all BBC 3/4 HD recordings are working for me, not a single failure.

I failed to get a working recording of The Bridge on Saturday (again) so tried a test recording of a random BBC Four HD programme on Sunday, which worked perfectly. Can anyone explain this? This all seems a bit of a lottery.

InactiveI’ve just tested it tonight on a 2000t and it still fails on that. I’ve never been able to record a single thing from BBC3HD on that box and nothing has changed. I do *not* have COM7 as I get my signal from Mendip.

InactiveTo confirm, does the HDR-2000T also suffer from the new HD channel recording problem? It has been well discussed with respect to the HD and HDR-Fox T2, but I’ve not really heard about the 2000t having the same problem.
January 13, 2014 at 11:00 pm #48936Barry
ModeratorHDR 2000T suffers from same problem – it did for me until Mon 6 Jan when BBC 3 HD suddenly started to record OK.
