Ip Freeview

[WelshDave]

Cheers mate!

One question though do you need an antenna connected to complete setup as you do currently?

Thanks

No take the antenna out of socket

From what I've gathered from @DarrenDev and others comment in this thread you need to have the aerial disconnected but as I said it hasn't worked for me others may be able to give better details of exactly what happens.

I'm hoping there will be an official annoucement about the update that gives some more details (s/w version etc.) as far as I can see over on the Youview site there's been nothing published yet from that side either.

EDIT Beaten to it!

Clearly this page https://www.bt.com/help/tv/guide/ip-freeview-guide is wildly inaccurate and misleading

It’s now been released. I rebooted my box and it was there.

Surely this is on Freeview and not internet mode ?

I assume BT haven’t got additional BBC and ITV regions in the 800’s like Sky, Freesat, and Virgin Media ?

I receive Saorview channels in the 800’s and 900’s here in NI

I don’t think the carriage arrangements for IP include the Northern Ireland mini mux channels with RTE One etc.

Futhermore, the set up wouldn’t allow for you to get the overspill from the actual Soarview muxes from Ireland. This is the disadvantage of having two separate modes, but perhaps this would have been difficult to program with how the logical channel number (LCN) allocations work, especially with HD channels appearing on 1 rather than 101 etc.
