Set the Humax Foxsat HDR up to record the Chelsea Flower Show programmes. It has recorded both the SD and HD versions and, oddly, despite being in the West Midlands, the Y & L version of BBC1SD!
Info obtained by pressing the "i" button in the "Media" listing of recordings made.

The BBC will have screwed up the series/accurate recording crid codes.

Yes, I thought that. I assume, also, that not too many folk are interested in CFS on the forums, since no-one has mentioned it.

On freesat ch 101 is SD but ch 102 is HD, they are adjacent so you might set both to record series.

David

Only HD versions of channels were selected. Someone on uk.tech.digital-tv mentioned a similar occurrence for him last week. So some sort of beeb CRID cockup I think. I've complained, so it'll be interesting to see if anyone technical replies!

FFS! It's done it again. I definitely ONLY set BBC1HD to record the 1500-1545 programme. Started up and is recording BBC1HD and BBCNIHD. The schedule is showing only BBC1HD (108) scheduled to record the 1500-1545 slot and BBC2HD (102) the 2000-2110 one.

What the heck is going on?

Have you got your Foxsat to show crid codes ? Menu System Diagnostics OK RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE GREEN YELLOW BLUE. CRID display enable.

If so can you post the series and programme crid codes for each of the Chelsea Flower Show codes.

I will have a look at my Foxsat to see if I can spot the issue.

All the SD versions of the 1500 transmission have the following codes

Series fp.bbc.co.uk/MB1XWO Programme fp.bbc..co.uk/23VM69

BBC 1 HD England

Series fp.bbc.co.uk/TWQH9K Programme fp.bbc..co.uk/23VM69

Different series so SD are ignored for the HD reservation.

BBC HD Scotand Wales and NI omit the fp.bbc.co.uk. At a guess the box thinks this is a different programme so records the first one it finds in the epg.

Thanks, Graham,
I have to leave this for a few days now. We're actually off to Chelsea!

Richard

Lucky you . Take a HD camcorder and make your own programmes.

Just realised we live fairly close. I worked in Shirley for many years. CEGB Midlands Region HQ.

The old Powergen building?

me, Pebble Mill...

Richard

Powergen took over the building after privatisation (I go back a long way). You must have worked for the BBC.

Graham

A little off topic but I remember when that site was a big field - the circus visited there every year!

Well Chelsea was heaving, as expected. The programmes were very useful as we rarely got a chance to get to the front of any garden!

The double recordings continued whilst we were away with the BBC2 ones recording BBC2Eng (SD) and BBC2HD. The BBC1 ones were BBC1HD and BBC1NI (SD). I've not yet received a reply to my complaint to the BBC, so I'll wait a while and do a FoI.

Whilst working for the beeb as a Broadcast Engineer I was lucky enough to manage the English Regions DTV studio centre transmission system technical support (Coding and Mux). That's all been ripped out now and moved to centralised Coding and Mux. Along with R & D at Kingswood Warren being closed down and moved to Salford or W12 all my old contacts have gone too
