[QUOTE="David J Robinson, post: 517050, member: 197198"] I've been fiddling around with the ITV HD settings, and I find that the brief dropout after 8 seconds can be fixed by setting PMT ID to 8192 (which the Humax seems to use as a 'not set' setting). The only side effect of this is to lose the Dolby symbol on the info bar, however the sound itself is still Dolby. Another curiosity is that setting the SID to the value suggested elsewhere (10510) results in no picture as the VPID is overwritten with 8192. This presumably is one of the 'counter measures' used by ITV to limit reception to Freesat boxes. I've been trying to find some info as to exactly what the SID (Service ID) does, but without success. Wikipedia for example has details of PAT, PMT, VPID etc. but nothing on SID. :confused: Any ideas anyone for a source of info? [/QUOTE]
