Topic: Reception and Technical issues: ed fine. Since Prime changed we have had a problem with the audio being out of sync by up to several seconds delayed. Added to that, the audio keeps making strange noises – blips and gurgles etc which are often quite loud – a lot louder than the normal sound level. This only happens on Prime - all the other FTA channels are fine. It also happens when we record Prime. Up till now I have sort of got around it by going to another channel in the ad breaks (I only watch one Prime show a week) but that is only a temporary fix, for within a few minutes the out of sync problem comes back as do the funny noises. Then I thought maybe we had done something wrong in the changeover so I went back to the freeview box factory settings and then followed the procedure I had got from somewhere to install the Prime TP. (I know you are supposed to be able to download an update onto a USB stick but so far how to do that has eluded me). On the service (channel) search it came up with Prime TV on channels 10, 106, and 107. There was nothing on ch 10 but there was on the other two, (they still had the out of sync and noises problems) so I deleted ch 10 and 107 and moved ch 106 to the ch 10 position. Same thing: get audio and video but within a minute or less the sound is out of sync and the funny noises are back. Because the symptoms are so recognisable I thought I would find others on the net who were experiencing the same thing but I have found ziltch. To make things worse the freeview box came from an outfit that calls itself Webretail Limited and has only a postal address in Auckland. I didn't think I would get any joy from them. I do hope someone here knows what might be happening to Prime and has the time to post because I will certainly appreciate it. cheers, James.…; Added by James Fox at 18:36 on June 2, 2014

Topic: Moved from MySky HDi to Freeview HD Terrestrial - now no reception in bedroom: splitter. 4 connections in wall labelled 1 thru 4 by the installer. 1 & 2 were being used by Sky. 3&4 not sure. In bdrm - Samsung TV with built in freeview. 1 aerial connection in wall labelled no 5 by the installer. This Tv got Sky on 1 channel from the lounge thru the modulator and all the built in freeview channels were working off the UHF aerial. It was definitely receiving Freeview terrestrial, as I checked the channel listings against what u can get on satellite vs terrestrial. New setup UHF aerial on roof plus Sky dish (now redundant) Removed MySky box and sky rf modulator from lounge. Also removed splitter which I think maybe the problem. In lounge: Samsung Smart TV - set up yesterday and all working fine - getting signal from aerial connection 4 in wall thru Dish Tv New Dish TV aerial box ultra T1050pvr set up and working thru aerial connection 4. Have also tried all the other aerial connections 1 thru 3 but there is no freeview signal out of any of them. In bdrm - Samsung TV with built in freeview now has no channels. I have autoscanned many times to no avail and on checking the signal strength there is no signal. How was the bdrm tv getting freeview before the change? I have wrongly assumed that it was coming straight from the aerial but obviously not. I have played around with the splitter today seeing if I could get a signal thru to the bdrm but have had no luck. If anyone can help me it would be very much appreciated.

Comment on: Topic 'Black screen + audio in Christchurch': blem as the only different is height of 2 metres, which would make very little different in chch where it is all flat aside from the port hills. How are people in Wellington etc supposed to be able to watch tv if as you say needs to be in line of sight? There are hills and gullies everywhere. Bel said: Hi Julian - cheers for those details! There's your problem: Dick Smith HD Freeview Ready indoor antenna! Indoor antennae are only OK if you've got direct line of sight to the transmission tower & you're very close to the tower! They're just not adequate under most conditions! Since you're "very likely" to get Freeview|HD, you just need to install an external UHF aerial (standard ones can be picked up from places like DSE & Noel Leemings etc. from round about $69 - $99). Make sure it's pointed at Sugar Loaf (so it's aligned properly with the signal stream for best results) and it should be all g.... Let us know how you get on!

Comment on: Topic 'Channel quality.': disappeared and normal service had been restored. I also had a phone message to contact a gentleman within Kordia, who confirmed it was an issue their end (and was very glad to hear that a parameter change their end had successfully resolved the issue). A good result for the day. Cheers, Nils Poulsen Nils Poulsen said: Joshua, Hi. Thanks for the reply. You highlight the issue for me (whether it's a transmission problem, or whether it's something that has changed within my home set-up). The audio lag started on the 16th, so maybe it's coincidence that it started the same day that Sky were doing satellite Freeview changes. We should be taking a terrestrial signal anyway. It's just that I have not made any conscious change to our AV receiver or TV settings prior to or immediately following that date. I wondered whether the codecs being used to decode the signal within the AV receiver had been accidentally altered to another setting (still to investigate), but a 3 second lag seems quite large. Will keep experimenting, but did not want to affect the other channels that are still working quite happily.... 8-) CheersJoshua Hill said: I have a Dish TV unit and the audio is fine for all channels, seeing as the transponders for the three channels are different t may be a case on your sound setup or the equipment you use such as a 5.1 Theater system or receivers to distribute video and audio signals Kind RegardsJoshua …; Added by Nils Poulsen at 19:23 on October 21, 2013

Comment on: Topic 'Bad reception for TP12483 on D1': enough, while still close enough to the receivers (house is on northern border and land falls away to south)... Putting a long cable will add some attenuation, but maybe that is acceptable as the signal strength is ok (+97%). So moving it further away or behind the house might get it away from the noise source (which is currently where my head is at) When I started using PC based satellite receivers a few years ago, I would see maybe one other wifi SSID, now there is a list of ten or more...could something like this be the source of noise disrupting this transponders frequency (some noisy odd harmonic off a wifi bridge)? Or is noise unlikely to be the cause of our issue.... I will have to do a poll on the neighbors to see who is using freeview, and not sky? Cheers PaulB. Bill McMurray said: - Hi Paul, A bigger dish will give you a stronger signal on all transponders, so will probably alleviate the problem, but I'm not convinced that the size of your dish IS THE PROBLEM. The incoming signal from each transponder can rise or drop a few Db from one day to another, but that much difference continually can't be caused by the dish - Unless it's bent out of shape - And you're getting the same problem using another dish. I thought it may be something blocking the incoming signal, then I read that you'd got the same problem with the caravan dish on the other side of the house. - So does the caravan dish give the problem anywhere on your property??? - And what about neighbours? - Maybe you've got an incoming transmission signal problem! - This is becoming a real mystery!

Comment on: Topic 'On Demand Fail': tflix and youtube. Perhaps Sony have dropped the on demand app from their options? Update I tried accessing On demand through the web browser app on the TV. When attempting to play it gave message that the necessary DRM plugins are not enabled. This is what I used to get on my laptop so it suggests Sonys browser is not up to date in this respect. Julene Leslie said: Hi Graeme, Yes, I understand they update regularly. My TV automatically updates its software and I have double checked it has the latest version running. It appears it doesn't make any difference to on demand whether it's updated or not unfortunately. The model is KD-65X7500D. Thanks. Graeme Simpson said: I gave up trying to watch ON DEMAND on my computer as it refused to work with my Linux based computer. (rival to Microsoft Windows). At that time I queried it with on demand and they said Linux was not compatible. Most smart TVs and such devices these appear to use the Linux operating system and a web browser (usually "Opera") I have just tested my Linux laptop and it can now access On Demand so it appears that Linux is now compatible with it. What you need to do is update the Linux operating system. We have a Sony TV and can update it via the wifi or LAN cable. The older ones may require downloading the update onto a USB stick. Note that it is not a "fault" with the software it is just network security and video codecs are evolving which is why all OSs regularly release updates. Even MS Windows.....
