ITV HD - Recording Problems

[Ronski]

Hi all,

 

I have ITV HD working in as much as I can watch it, I can even pause it and then continue watching it (Timeshift). But if I record it then I only get sound and no picture when I play it back via DVBViewer. I'm using the ITV HD.ini file from here.

 

I had this problem on my old install of Vista (just reinstalled with TV Pack) and I searched the internet and came up with some different settings for the channel information from here and here. I exported the channel information from my old install of DVBViewer and imported it into my new installation, but it does not work, it's as if it's not receiving a good signal, sometimes the picture breaks up (did this before on occasion) but most the time it just freezes on the previously displayed picture.

 

I don't know what I'm doing when I'm changing those settings, so if someone could enlighten me it may help?

 

Could it be that my dish/LNB/Cable needs upgrading as they are really old and this is affecting the alternative settings?

 

Also I really can't see why I can timeshift ITV HD but not record it, surely timeshift is just recording it?

 

I also read on here that the latest Beta solved this problem, but there's currently no Beta available in the Beta section, I'm using the lastest full version.

 

I should also mention that BBC HD works perfectly and I can watch/timeshift ITV HD perfectly.

Latest DVBViewer beta supports it:

 

New: Recording of ITV HD: The wrong videodescriptor is automatically adjusted.

Or use DVBViewer GE 2.6.1 for recording ITV HD

Thank you both very much for your replies, I spent quite a while looking Monday night and only got the time to post this morning, looks like the beta was updated yesterday
