you got the right box

you wont see anything different on ITVHD until they broadcast something then you will be promted to press the Red button

to manual instal,you mean non freesat channels ? if so
menu
croll down to setup
then maual scan

I tend to leave settings as they are,as you get loads of encypted channels if you scan for all

nah m8 they all finished
I think there is a racing channel that is or was in the clear the other day

thinking about it I just leave the manual scan as it is when you enter
I cant look at the mo as wife is watching it lol

just mess with it m8 you can always do a factory reset and start again

as for ITVHD it don't work in Ireland and Scotland so if your from either of those places
you need a London postcode to get it

thanks again just watched it..........

my tv goes to 1080i i dont think this is full HD is it....?

 

[hawkish]

1080p is what is known as full hd - however dont panic as all HD broadcasts inc freesat do 720p - 1080i due to bandwith constraints this will be the case for the forseable future so your telly is perfectly matched to freesat. I stick to 720p as you are effectivly getting 1440 lines at any one time campared to 1080 interlaced

Hi 720p (progresive) is 720 lines eg line 1,2,3,4,5... to line 720
1080i (interlaced) is 1080 lines 1,3,5,7... followed by 2,4,6,8... to line 1080

so technically 1080i can produce a better picture than 720p

 

[terminator2k2]

yes but with interlaced signals as in 1080i you can get jagged edges on fast moving pictures....due to 2 fields needed to make the complete picture , where as progressive signals as in 720p uses 1 field per pic.... so on a 50hz pic with 1080i you will get 25 full pictures per second compared to 720p which will show 50 pics per second....
