I thought the royal wedding would make a good chance to compare ITV1 HD with BBC One HD.

I've put my Humax HDR into non-Freesat mode, done a re-scan, and found 2 ITV1 HD channels.

I've recorded a little bit of each, with the intention of FTP-ing them across to my PC to see which (if either) is 1920x1080. Also recorded a bit of BBC One HD.

Here's the problem: the title of the programme is "The *Royal Wedding*" on all three channels, where the * is a character showing as a little cross. When I use Filezilla FTP client to try to copy them to my PC, it fails. It works fine for everything else (haven't used it for a while, but it works fine on the last thing I recorded earlier in the week), so maybe it's just these special characters in the filename that are causing the issue? Or something else?

The error is...

Whereas a normal successful transfer goes like this...

Any ideas?

You need to reboot the box while in non-freesat mode to get a recording without encryption.

I get the same David, and yes have booted into non-freesat mode. I'm curious that the BBC HD channel is showing a static screen, are the beeb directing as much available bandwidth to the BBC One HD channel?

edit: if you rename the .ts file and remove the and characters the file will transfer.

Sounds like the odd characters that required a file rename for AV2HDR to work have returned. The BBC1-HD picture does look pretty good. It will be interesting to find out the bitrate.

The clip I've just recorded came in at 11.5 MBit/s and it was pretty undemanding stuff. I bet the Beeb have left plenty of headroom so they avoid any embarassing pictures should bit-rate demand go up for any reason.

Did you telnet in to rename them? filezilla ftp won't do it.

Don't think I'll mess with the box now - family won't be too impressed!

Cheers,

No I just right clicked on the file in filezilla and selected rename, then right clicked again to download.
