No - the HD channels are on the list. If I am using the Input Source
for live TV (switch to it using menu) and switch to a normal channel I
get the channel properly. However if I change an HD channel (which you
can ONLY do with this device as the source) Then the screen just doesn't
display anything except what appears to have been a graphic from the
previous channel I was watching.
If I try and record an HD program, the recording length is 0 bytes long.
I am wondering if its a hardware failure (given the non HD channels work
fine) - but I have no idea how to check that out and prove it. Anyone
and ideas?
