[QUOTE="PoBear, post: 1036278, member: 19817"] Hi guys I've borrowed a friends DVB-S2 USB box while he is on holiday to see whether I want to buy one for myself, at the moment all my receivers are DVB-T. I'm having problems getting it set up in MP1.4 on an XP SP3 box. I appear to have detected the four free to air HD channels on Astra 2d but can't view them, this may be due to problems with my anti-virus which I am still trying resolve, but I am also wondering if I have scanned correctly. I tried the software that comes with the box and it has found BBC1 HD, BBC2 HD, ITV HD, and CH4 HD without problem and I've done some test recordings, I've set it to capture in TS format, but the files that it is producing are MPEG-2, I thought these channels were being broadcast in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC? So I am wondering if I am actually receiving a DVB-S channel rather than DVB-S2, I know BBC used to broadcast HD on DVB-S but then switched to DVB-S2, but do they still broadcast HD on the SD system? and what about the other channels? Sorry if the question is daft but would appreciate any help. Thanks [/QUOTE]
