I see the BBC HD Test Card is referred to in a couple of threads.

I saw it once, but can't remember what time it was.

Can someone tell me when it is broadcast, or is it pot-luck?

thanks

It's broadcast within the BBC HD Preview on Ch108, along with the Synch Test (at a different time within the Preview Loop).

Here is a link to Andy Quested's Blog which contains instructions on how to use it. There are some comments/replies that told you where it was in terms of timings, but the Preview Lopp has changed since then Although Andy's timings may still be valid irrespective of the Preview content.

It is very useful to try and find these 2 items, do a short instant recording of them, and save them for future use in a Folder.

I've been trying to do this (save in folder etc.) with no success !
I can create the new folder but can't find a function to move or copy the recording to the new folder !
Can U help ?

In the right hand pane of file manager click on your folder to open it. Go left into the left hand pane cursor to your recording, the copy move option should now be enabled.

There is a frame dump here in in full 1920 x 1080 stored as a jpeg that you can show on screen from usb to check the screen geometry (overscan amount etc)

I managed to record the test card over night. It started about 29 mins into the promo. Very handy thing to have, got the pic. set up nicely now.
