    I am just going through resetting my schedule after it was wiped in the re-tune.
    When selecting a prog on BBC; BBC2; ITV1 or C4 before re-tune, it would suggest the HD version if there was one now it never does.

    I am starting to wish I never bought the T2 now, my old 9200T PVR is not looking so dated after all.

    Before you ask Graham, I have no channels in the 800 range.

    See this thread,

    Suspect it's a freeview problem related to the lcn changes.

    I will have a look at my HD FOX T2 in about an hour. Missus watching lunchtime soaps on main TV.

    I take it you can access the HD versions via the guide? Here I am seeing HD alternative offered on BBC1 but not ITV.

    > Martin, Yes all the channels are there and not too big a problem with BBC1; ITV1 and C4 as they are all the same as their HD counterparts but BBC HD carries progs from various BBC output.

    It is just another niggle with the FoxT2 PVR and the software.

    Why, if the broadcasters don't provide the link data then any Freeview-HD box will be the same.

    EDIT

    Just checked a Technika Freeview-HD box in the study. ITV 1 has no HD links either. BBC channels do.

    Second Edit

    On HD FOX T2

    Channel 1 & 2 have HD icon above the epg, Channel 3 does not. You need to complain to ITV not Humax.
