Can any one remind me how to tune in BBC HD/ITV HD on dm500s,

Ive done it before but can't remember how.

When I tune the freqs for both, I only get a couple of sd channels and a couple of data files, would I be correct in saying its one of the data files, and if so which one.

Thanks
 
It is to a point.....

Its got a dvb-s tuner, while most Hd channels are broadcast on dvb-s2, there are at least 30 channels that are broadcast on dvb-s from 42e to 43w.

With this is mind if you can manage to tune them with your dm500s (which ive done before) you will get no picture on your tv, but if you are streaming your box to a pc like im doing, these channels can indeed be watched in all there glory.

Thanks

Wow, Never knew that. I take it we can get ITV HD and BBC HD on our pc's using a dm500s then?
 
That seems to be the idea and there certainly is alot on it from different forums. I think its a bit hit and miss tho
 
I have tried it a couple of times and the ethernet port was to slow on my box :(
 
I had it working fine couple of years back. Yes the HD channels are listed as 'data' so you have to change them to 'tv' using dreamboxedit. Then you can stream them over network to watch on a pc. Worked fine on bbc-hd itv-hd etc, just using a dm500 but I did get some glitching with that. It worked better on a dm7020 for me, no glitches perfect HD picture ...using an SD box :)
