Important Service announcement regarding ABC HD

July 7th, 2010

The following is an important service announcement for all IceTV users with series recording options already selected for ABC HD.

With ABC’s new 24hr News channel to be launched soon, the ABC have begun using ABC HD for promotional purposes and no longer seem to be broadcasting their normal ABC1 content on this channel.

As a result, IceTV users with ‘HD Only’ selected (rather than ‘Prefer HD’) as the quality setting for any series recording for shows on ABC1 or ABCHD, may lose their recordings. To avoid this, we advise all IceTV users to check their series recording settings for any shows on ABC1 or ABC HD via IceTV Interactive, ensuring they have ‘Prefer HD’ selected. Doing so, should mean your shows are simply recorded on the normal ABC1 channel instead.

Likewise, IceTV users with shows set to record only on ABC HD with the ‘this channel only’ setting applied, should adjust their series recording settings. Once changed, your device at home should have time to make the necessary changes and record your shows on ABC1 instead.

If you are unsure or have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to contact our team.

Additional information for ABC’s new 24hr News channel can be found on the ABC website and we will include accurate program data for this new channel shortly after it is launched.

Regards,

IceTV
