ABC HD Canberra isn't showing yet in my IceTV Web My Account>Guide Settings, my Web page IceTV guide or in my PVR EPG.

ABC HD is now enabled for for most devices, the current exceptions are the Humax 2tune, Beyonwiz Tx series and Skippa PVR's (these are being worked on now).

Is this why I just got the following failed timer email?

For both my T2 and SKIPPA even after service scan and ABC HD being there I am still getting emails with "Channel with the id (2684) is not found in STB" for the SKIPPA and "No matching service" for the T2.

I am located in Melbourne.

PS The tiplet info from SKIPPA is:

Do you have ABC HD data in the T2's EPG?
Title: Re: ABC switching to HD transmission
Post by: IanL-S on December 06, 2016, 01:05:01 PM
Peter, no EPG data for ABC HD in Melbourne. I did a new service scan, rebooted, and then asked for EPG update. Just did another EPG download and still no EPG on the T2.

Odd, I didn't need to do a manual EPG update on my T4s at all, the normal update on reboot worked just fine.

The triple you posted is what I'd expect for Melbourne.

The email you're getting would be what I'd expect if the EPG updates you've done haven't fetched a new copt of the channel list with ABC HD in it (and the new ABC HD EPG data).

You could try Disable IceTV/Enable IceTV/Fetch EPG...

I can confirm that the IceTV EPG and recording setting works for ABC HD for me in Canberra.

Peter, did not realize that a reboot would do that.

Did as you suggested and no luck. As I am having the same problem with both my SKIPPA it may be a problem at the IceTV end.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the heads up, looks like there was a mistake in Melbourne's details for ABC HD, this has been fixed.

Ok, I've managed to get my Beyonwiz T2 setup and configured, however I have no icon or logo for ABC HD.

Now, is this an IceTV issue because I'm using the IceTV EPG, or is it a Beyonwiz issue?

Thanks.

Hi Dan, now working om 2 x SKIPPA an on T2; one of them is now refusing to download any EPG dtaa - completly blank. Will advise here if I fix it.
Title: Re: ABC switching to HD transmission
Post by: charlotte on December 06, 2016, 02:34:40 PM
I'm in Perth. I got lots of messages saying recordings had failed. I realised that it may have been because of the channel 2HD upgrade. So I've spent a great deal of time trying to rescan my two t4s, getting more and more frustrated.  I've lost count of the times I've scanned, changed things, resent data etc. Of course I've accidentally stuffed something that was behaving perfectly well before and now have to try to work out how to fix it.

I finally find out that the problems are caused by icetv, not by the t4 or me!

Strong Suggestion: next time there's an issue like this, please send an email to everyone saying that we may not be able to receive a channel and date expected to be fixed. The problem has not been the inability to use 2HD with icetv, but the lack of communication. 

I've lost count of how long I've been with icetv, 10 years+?  This is the first time something like this has happened, no notification given. I'm not impressed.

Please advise approximately when channel 2HD Perth would be expected to be available on icetv.   It's not working now via icetv.
Thank you.

Hi Charlotte,

ABC HD is working for me in Perth, for both IceTV EPG and scheduling timers.  Once you've scanned for ABC HD, you'll need to restart the GUI or reboot.  Then ABC HD will be available in the EPG.  I'm guessing that the service scan function doesn't write out the scan data to flash until restart, and that the incoming Ice guide data hasn't anything to match in the scan files.  That's just a guess though.

...
Channel logos/picons on the Beyonwiz T series are in the Beyonwiz firmware. You get the same logos (or lack of them) whether you're using IceTV or the FTA EPG.

The updates needed for the logos have been incorporated into the current beta firmware for the Beyonwiz T series. They're not expected to be made available as a separate update (http://"http://beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&p=146238#p146238") for the current official firmware.

Using MENU>IceTV>Fetch EPG... should be enough to pull in the new data, but if a reboot or GUI restart is required, it's not for that reason. The scan results are all written out to flash either during the scan, at the point the scan completes or when you confirm the scan by pressing OK on the remote when the scan has finished.

In any case, the IceTV plugin doesn't access the results of the scan by reading those files. It looks at the in-memory data that is written to the scan files, and which is available to all the T series functions at the end of the scan.

A 'Fetch EPG and update timers now' didn't get the guide data populated in my case.  It only populated once I'd restarted the GUI.
Title: Re: ABC switching to HD transmission
Post by: charlotte on December 06, 2016, 04:06:15 PM
I've rebooted one t4 and restarted GUI on the other.  Thank you. Will wait and see. I've done all the other stuff numerous times - disabled and enabled icetv, resent info from t4 and app etc. I have the epg ok, but not timers.

Somehow I've stuffed up the favourites which I use for the epg on the less important t4. I've still got them there but can't remember how to have them come up automatically when I click on epg. Have spent ages stuffing around with this. If anyone would be so kind as to give me some quick hints, I'd be ever so grateful. Normally I'd find the answer myself, but I'm not a happy camper after wasting so much time unnecessarily this morning. Grrrr!

I successfully got ABC HD in my BW T2 EPG today (Mid North Coast NSW), but only after several attempts. Look through your EPG list in case ABC HD has been 'grouped' with other HD channels elsewhere in the EPG.

I finally found ABC HD at the end of my EPG list, NOT with the other ABC channels.

See my other topic today.

"All information has now been updated, with channels logos along with full channel and guide information". This was some time ago. Would appreciate an update regarding timers.

I'm in Perth. Have tried everything but still no timers on either t4.

Later: After two hours I now have timers for a weeks time, but not this week.

Not going to spend any more time on this but very disappointed.

This is strange; 50/50 success. T2 2 and SKIPPA 2 are downloading neither EGP nor timers. EPG completely empty; no scheduled timers. T2 1 and SKIPPA 1 have downloaded both EPG and Timers.

In both cased the PVR thinks that it has completed EPG/Timer download. Very strange.

Which bouquet? A rescan to get ABC HD will change your current bouquet to LastScanned, and yes, ABC HD will be out of order there. But it should be in the correct place in Terrestrial TV LCN (grouped with the other two-digit ABC LCNs).

You'll also need to add it to your Favourites list if you use one.

Just did retunes on 1 x Toppy 2400 and 3 x DP Beyonwiz.
Toppy via JustEPG (XML) has ABC HD EPG.
Toppy via native EPG - No ABC HD EPG.
All Wiz DPs - No ABC HD EPG.
All PVRs are one hour out for ABC HD Now and Next info. Daylight Saving? - I'm in QLD. Obviously not an IceTV issue for N & N.
And yes, I have made sure I have ABC HD set to 20 in My Account, Guide Settings.

"Obviously" is a word I'd only ever use cautiously about the Beyonwiz T series. ;)

Whether the Now/Next data comes from the FTA Now/Next data stream or from the EPG is controlled by MENU>Setup>TV>SPG settings>Show EIT now/next in infobar. It defaults to disabled, which means that if IceTV is used for the EPG, then the Now/Next data comes from the (IceTV) EPG.

Post by: raymondjpg on December 06, 2016, 10:12:44 PM
I just received an email from IceTV "ABC HD is now live, action required". The body of the email starts off with "This will affect your upcoming recordings previously set with the ABC..."

I'm not sure how or why. All the devices I have rescanned, and I count 2 PVRs, 2 instances of TV Scheduler Pro, WinTV 7 and MediaPortal have recorded an additional channel ABC HD which prior to going live would have had no recordings set. ABC remains unaffected and I don't think ABC News 24 has shifted LCNs so any recordings that may have been set on this channel should be unaffected.

While I appreciate the precautionary advice that IceTV has delivered I'm not sure what, if any, action is needed by me other than a rescan and possibly some re-setting of timers on ABC HD in the forlorn hope that they may possibly constitute more than an upscaled version of what is on the ABC.
Title: Re: ABC switching to HD transmission
Post by: IanL-S on December 07, 2016, 08:14:02 AM
Not sure if this is related to the introduction of ABC HD; now both my T2 and one of my SKIPPA are showing that no timers have been set (looking at MyAccount). My other SKIPPA which is on a different account is working OK. No issues with the Toppys.

Update: while there are errors showing for all timers on the T2 that has been working, all timers seem to be in place on the unit. Further update: Some timers are missing from this T2.

What's unclear about the ABC's statement on the question (http://abc.net.au/hd) ;)
QuoteWill everything on the channel be in HD?

All materials delivered to the ABC in HD will be broadcast in HD.

All clear now?

Seriously, though, it would be great if the IceGuide said what programs on HD channels are sourced in HD, though I suspect that would be too hard to do.

Nothing. What is unclear is how much of this material will be what some refer to as "native" HD.

Title: Re: ABC switching to HD transmission
Post by: IanL-S on December 07, 2016, 12:54:22 PM
No way of knowing which content the ABC has that is in full HD (1080p). Old content is unlikely to be in any version of HD unless it has been remastered. Other content will be up-scaled during transmission. It will also be converted from MPEG 2 to MPEG 4 on-the-fly. The same happens with 10 HD, 9 HD and 7 HD. SBS HD is still transmitting in MPEG 2 so on-th-fly conversion will not be necessary, although there may be on-the-fly up-scaling.

Not sure where this gets us ....

Nearly, but not quite, back to square one I suspect. Given the ABC's history with HD broadcasts (IIRC "Rain Shadow" was about the only true HD material broadcast on ABC HD before they moved to squander their HD channel on ABC News 24) I'm not so confident that we will see much more full HD, as opposed to upscaled SD, material from the ABC in the short term. Having said that things have moved on since the ABC last broadcast HD and the technology alone should predicate more true HD than before. How much, and of what type or category, remains to be seen.

I'm not picking on the ABC in particular, but as the argument went back in the day when ABC first broadcast in HD, for our National Broadcaster to be showing mainly upscaled SD on their HD channel it was pretty pathetic.

Never mind all that, the New Year's fireworks broadcast in HD should be enough to silence anyone with the timerity to be critical of Aunty. If anyone can persuade them to broadcast the accompanying bangs and whoops in surround sound I'll shout them a bottle of scotch.
Title: Re: ABC switching to HD transmission
Post by: prl on December 07, 2016, 05:00:34 PM
None of that was helped by the fact that while the commercial networks were required to broadcast a minimum amount of HD source material per year, neither the ABC nor SBS had to meet that requirement.

The requirement was laughably small (1040 hours/year, or just under 3 hours/day). IIRC that was often helped along in the early days by broadcasting the commercials' "morning shows" using HD cameras. The ACMA hasn't issued a HDTV quota compliance report since 2013.

But it's still interesting that no-one seems to be interested in advertising which programs are from HD source material. The only times I recall it being done was when SBS started using HD cameras for their Tour de France coverage.

This change has prompted me to hide some channels I don't use. I have a Beyonwiz DP-P2 and have deleted various channels from the guide by going to 'list' and deleting them. However channels 2 and 21 are deleted but re-appear. I have 'disabled' ABC on the Ice-tv website and have LCN's of 20 22 23 24 selected for the various channels. Any idea of how to get rid of LCN 2 and 21?

I am seeing the same issue with both my T2 and a SKIPPA on the same account. The TRF-5300 on the same account is showing a large number of queued timers, all from today. I have NOT received any error emails about those timers. This suggests it may be an account related issue.

Or perhaps a regional issue. I have no problems setting and removing recordings on my test T4 (beta firmware 2016-12-07, Canberra IceTV region).

If you use the IceTV Web page to reschedule one of the recordings showing the error triangle, and then do a MENU>IceTV>Fetch EPG... on the Beyonwiz, what do you see in its IceTV log for the fetch?

This change has prompted me to hide some channels I don't use. I have a Beyonwiz DP-P2 and have deleted various channels from the guide by going to 'list' and deleting them. However channels 2 and 21 are deleted but re-appear. I have 'disabled' ABC on the Ice-tv website and have LCN's of 20 22 23 24 selected for the various channels. Any idea of how to get rid of LCN 2 and 21?

It sounds like you may have 'Dynamic Channel Management' enabled.

Go to 'Setup > Misc. > PVR', scroll down to the 2nd menu page (below the Soft padding Priority setting) and disable 'Dynamic Channel Management'.

The ABC HD channel shows up on my Beyonwiz T4, but any programming record selections for it on IceTV have the 'yellow alert triangle of doom' beside it and do not record.

I am seeing the same issue with both my T2 and a SKIPPA on the same account. The TRF-5300 on the same account is showing a large number of queued timers, all from today. I have NOT received any error emails about those timers. This suggests it may be an account related issue.

You need to get the affected PVRs to update their channel list from IceTV.

For a Skippa see the steps under the heading "Now clear the EPG so the SKIPPA can download a fresh copy" here:

For a T series Beyonwiz see sections 2 and 3 here:

Though I have better luck running through the IceTV plugin's setup wizard again as an existing user. You only need to re-enter your IceTV password then just save or confirm everything else with the green button.

Thanks Dave

I found the cause of my problem - for some reason the location was set to Sydney rather than Melbourne in the Account settings. Once I corrected this all was well. Not sure how it was chnaged in the first place.
