    Default New to VAST

    Hi all,

    Reluctantly after ten years; Our days with D1 have ended with the cut-over to multi-streaming.

    Currently am considering VAST )Very Average Subscriber Television( and our Topfield TF7700HDPVR with a CAM has audio problems.

    The "Info" channel (?800 or whatever they call it) has no audio, nor does SBS.

    Aljazeera, TRT and D3 Tune are all normal as is ABC HD.

    Any thoughts?

    Cheers //

    Do you have the latest firmware installed?

    Will the unit decode DVB-S2 MPEG4?

    Sounds like an AAC audio codec issue in your firmware. I think you'll find a problem with nearly all VAST channels if this is the case.

    MPEG-2 Audio:
    Imparja
    GO!
    ICTV
    Westlink
    Al Jazeera
    TRT World

    TVSN
    Expo
    D3 Tune

    AC3 Audio:
    ABC HD
    7mate Central
    GEM
    ONE Central

    AAC Audio:
    All other channels

    Thank you for the reply; Firmware has been tried from 23 through 45, with the latter being and unofficial late release.

    I think it is ok for MPEG4 because ABC HD is 100%

    That has to be the money; Thank you for your reply.

    I really like the Topfield, cheap ($45 each) and with "Topset" I could load a profile of preferences via RS232 in less than a minute; Days are over now and off to the Council e-Waste bin sadly / all four of them and the SD boxes aplenty too.

    We are reckoning on a VU+ Duo2 for the cam and VAST / might be ok?
