Thread: HD Channels

I would like to know the same thing if somebody would care to share. Please PM if necessary. Thanks

Arent they streamed to the box once a week when they come out and can be watched on demand only???? All the shows airing around the clock are sd. Thats what i see here anyhow.

It's on 12052H, PID's 1021/1021/1024
Labelled as 'Time Shift #13019' on some boxes, but blank on other boxes.

You can't record it (other than the first 6minutes like all FBO shows) unless you have paid for the viewing of that movie in the original box with the remote to get the individual entitlement key. New movies start just before midday on Wednesday and cycle in a loop until Saturday and from Sunday till Wednesday morning some older movies are cycled in addition to the new movies.

That's probably because that channel is encrypted in ND5 not 1rdeto2

Try 13002 instead, but you won't get the EPG unless you can somehow tell the dreambox the Reference Service ID is 13019.

Its not an error, 13019 isn't in the PAT

Maybe, I can't see on the Vu+. If this is the case does that mean that Austar can't get HD movies on demand?

Ok i did this with 13002 and loose the epg but unfortunately still no pics? am I doing anything wrong or should I not expect to see pics?

Only ND5 not Austar - I'll take davmel's word about the viewability

ok thanks for clearing everything up guys. One last question though, how does this get streamed and stored on the IQ2 hard drive? does it get stored encrypted then unlocked when you purchase it perhaps?
