Rumours of picture quality looking better, is it true?
wont get a chance to check till after work... Watch BBC1 HD (108) then flip to NHK World (209). The difference is very noticeable. |

No change from 1440 horizontal, although probably only us projector users would ever really notice without getting the magnifying glass out, a Mb/s more would be much more significant. ITV1 HD was still mooching around 6Mb/s so I guess their deal doesn't allow for any improvements. That said the switch only happened this morning, I'm sure there will be much tweaking in the coming week. |

That you could not find the channels on the earlier scans suggests that the signal was not good enough.

It found them fine, but then putting the box into standby, it forgot to retain them and on boot-up, would display the old transponder settings so then having to scan again.. But everytime, the signal was always very strong.

Had to manually retune my Foxsat HDR, but I do switch it off at the mains overnight.
Can't say I notice any improvement in picture quality on the BBC HD channels though. |

I had to do a Freesat retune on my Foxsat HD, for use in Freesat mode. (Box gets switched off at mains overnight, so missed the 3:00am housekeeping).
As expected, had to input full new parameters to Foxsat HD for use in non-Freesat mode. Sagem DTR94-250 (PVR) needed no retune or re-boot at all. Chris. |

ITV1HD (London) in 1440x1088 has no subtitles at all. ITV1HD (Granada) and STVHD have the full width resolution and they do have TXT style subtitles, I just discovered! (no DVB style subtitles though) |

then it would appear that you are one very sad individual. I would suggest that before you nitpick over things like spelling mistakes,you ensure that your own posts are perfect. For example I'm is correct,but i'm is wrong!! |

Was something meant to happen overnight? Today I noticed I had lost the two BBCHD channels, but a quick re-scan sorted that out. But while poking about I also noticed that our Foxsat HD (non pvr) is still on software version 28 with loader 7.22.
A manual search for updated software brought the usual response ie sod all. |

Why is it that that people feel the need to call someone out on a spelling mistake and think they are being constructive or funny on here?!! Its one of the lowest childish acts you can do on a forum and shows you to be rather sad and pathetic.. If thats all you can add to a discussion, then do one!
Anyway, onward! |

To get the BBC HDs on my Panasonic TXL32D28, I had to do a rescan of 28.2 & 28.5 on other sats, , There must be an easy way, but using other single transponder brought them in,without pic or sound.
Full rescan of freesat also needed, I did expect better of the Panasonic .Having to dump 100s of channels. JO |

Looks like I'm going to have to do a factory reset because nothing on channels 108/9 like the above poster said I would have expected more from Panasonic, as the reciever has always updated it's self
Working ok now after setting it back to shipping condition

just thought I'd add my experience to the forum. Even though i'm away from home until weds I thought i'd get my girlfriend to check our freesat equipment:
my foxsat HDR was working fine with the BBC hd channels without any user internvention. my 2009 panansonic tv (42v10b) needed a freesat retune. I havent asked my gf to check the foxsat in the bedroom as its not an issue to be without HD for a few days. hope all you early panny freesatters get it sorted

Pity the Pannys menus don't allow users to delete channels to allow a fresh scan of a transponder.
