Channel 5 don't support accurate recording so for recording channel 5 program's you need to add padding either side instead.

i just noticed this morning my talktalk youview box had recorded the gadget show from channel 5+1 from yesterday, as opposed to the normal broadcast. i have sky too so can't remember if C5 is in HD on freeview but the picture quality is noticably worse compared to HD

It's no longer in HD on Freesat
It never was, it's always been an encrypted channel. It WAS available on FSFS until recently (though never on Freesat), but presumably their contract with Sky was up, and CH5 HD decided to become a subscription channel. |

On satellite, all the SD channels from CH5 run at 704x576 resolution and look pretty decent, especially if the source material was shot in HD. Still not as good as watching in HD, but far better looking than the crap you get on Freeview in the main. |

Hmmm has 4HD not using accurate record my programmes recorded on there are ending prematurely and is very annoying. I did add padding but that isn't suitable especially when I record multiple sides. My youview box records the whole programme no matter what channel it's on. Any ideas
