Yep i get it 24/7 on my Nova. You aren't missing anything to be honest Megabird, it's just bits of concert footage which are quite short and boring.

I had to enter different audio and video pids to get it, it seems a little non standard.

Perhaps to keep it hush-hush from us all for as long as possible? Then BANG! ITV HD :d

Would you care to share those pids with poor bored Megabird?

If it isn't BBC or ITV - who is it?

I'm pretty new to my HD box, but I've tried every permutation and it doesn't get it either.

Is this MPEG 4 or MPEG 2?

Its showing up on my scanner as being just "Video" as opposed to "MPEG2 Video" or "H.264 Video".

Is it encrypted? Theres no encryption flag but im getting 10mbits/s of video (black screen) but no audio is connected.

No they aren't encrypted and both have 5.1 sound and are working fine at the moment.

You might need to install an H.264 codec saiorse44

Try out the trial of this to see if it helps.

Once again your the king snood.. both working now..

I've also noticed that DVB Viewer is VERY well integrated into the graphics card using the right drivers.. BBC HD is using only 3% CPU load!!! PowerCinema used 80%

I am trying it on a PC but the combination of software and filters I use has been able to view most things successfully.
