Do you know, I hadn't thought of that, you are probably right given my dodgy signal issues. When the leaves fall from the trees in October and I can move back to my main dish then it'll probably be fine.

Need to get away from the thought that everything is clock controlled like the old days!!

At the moment my Humax 9300 terrestrial receiver (in bedroom) seems much more reliable recording wise so I may swap them until October (miss the HD though!!)

I could set up the Sky HD box just for viewing BBC, ITV, and Ch4 HD though I suppose, I was thinking of doing just for Channel 4 but that would mean another feed at the moment as my summer dish only has three connected and the third one feeds the Humax Foxsat HD in my son's room.

I dont think you can have a 9300 and a Foxsat HD in the same room remote wise, can you? (have to try it).

If I was to have terrestrial in the lounge for recording through the 9300 then the two feeds would then be spare so I could feed the Sky HD box with one of them for viewing only.
First, you can have the HD/HDR in the same room as the 9300T; I have, and the remotes do not clash.

Re the AR performance. Do you seem to get the EPG updated OK on the HDR? If so, and I can't believe I'm advocating this given my support for AR on the HDR, you may have better luck with Autopadding which relies on the EPG start/stop times, not AR signals. Give it a try, and see how you get on, say 2 mins early & 3 mins late, but be aware, this may give you more clashes if you record lots of back to back double recordings at the same time.

Post back if you don't know how to set Autopadding up.

I'll try that, thanks. Signal Quality is 40% on Clubland TV, 60% on POP and 100% on BBC1.

Just realised we've sort of hi jacked the Channel 4 Thread!! Apologies to the original poster.

Foe my two pennorth, I can't wait for Channel 4HD to come on Freesat; as having the Sky HD box set up too is too much hassle at the moment.

oh yes, so it is! Just waiting on freesat now.....

quote from joinfreesat admin post "We are being sent unofficial reports that C4HD will be on Freesat mid-August. We cannot validate these rumours at this time."
Where on Joinfreesat is this mentioned.

Thanks Mastanlem
