Hi,

This has happened a few times now, and I wondered if it has happened to anyone else, I am trying to find out if its a fault with my box or not.

I just pressed red for Wild at Heart on ITV HD. It gave me the ITV HD screen then the blue button on the top right, but the picture never comes on, I am just left with a blank screen. Pressing blue gets me the are you sure message, then it returns to the sd version.

I have disconnected the box, rebooted etc, all with no joy. This has happened more than once over the last month or so. In fact I`ve not got any ITVHD working in the last month or so, just a blank screen.

I have region set to ITV London by postcode, connected by HDMI to an HD Ready tv.

Any ideas, should I be phoning Comet's service centre?

You dont need to have the London postcode anymore.

Channel 977 has ITV London which is also set up for audio discriptor.

Havent tried ITV HD for a while as I get Teed off with the lack of programming.

Worked fine for me (also recorded OK) ITV Central West is my local ITV.

Try tuning 11428 H 27500 2/3 in non freesat mode (You will have to reenter any programme reservations) and see what signal strength and quality you get from Shorts TV (it's on the same transponder as ITV HD) . If you have not got a very good signal it might be a weather related signal problem. May be your dish alignment needs a tweak
