VITC Code
I’ve updated both my T2 & T4 to 19.3 (20191106) and now see VITC Code on 10 Peach on both devices, all other channels are fine. I initially thought it was the broadcast but when I changed to TV tuner 10 Peach looks fine.
I didn’t have this issue on 17.5 prior to upgrading. Any ideas?
EDIT: I tried reverting T4 back to 17.5 but the issue persists? A factory reset on 17.5 (no restore) still does not resolve. I am upgrading to 19.3 again and will restore settings saved before I downgraded.
EDIT2: I looked back over neighbours recording since upgrade last Thursday and they were fine. Only today recording is showing what looks like VITC Code. We haven’t touched any settings on T4 and haven’t used the T2 since updating so strange they both have this issue. So something has changed, at least it’s not tied to firmware.

Re: VITC Code
If you are seeing vitc code then it is part of the video image that is being sent. It means that peach is dropping the ball.

Re: VITC Code
That’s 100% what I thought and it makes sense but when I view Peach on Samsung tuner directly there is no VITC?
Hopefully it goes away by itself as it sounds like nothing I can do from this end?

Re: VITC Code
That's because the TV's internal tuner is overscanned when it is displayed. The internal tuners overscan setting is generally undefeatable unlike that of the HDMI inputs.Trial_Master wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 23:05That’s 100% what I thought and it makes sense but when I view Peach on Samsung tuner directly there is no VITC?
The wrong way to "fix" it would be to set your TV's HDMI input to 16:9 aspect ratio. This will chop off the edges of all incoming signals and thus hide the vitc. This will soften the overall signal and will affect all channels of course and I do not recommend doing this.Trial_Master wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 23:05Hopefully it goes away by itself as it sounds like nothing I can do from this end?
I'd submit a complaint to Peach of it bothers you.

Re: VITC Code
Good to know about the tv tuner. I have tweeted 10 Peach to advise them. Thanks for confirming the issue is in broadcast. I knew I didn’t mess with anything today that would remotely cause this.
Hopefully it’s sorted in next day or so.
Have a good night

Re: VITC Code
Emailed 10 this morning, still not resolved this afternoon, but I’ve just flicked on T4 and they have fixed it. Thanks again MrQuade.
Re: VITC Code
You can often see the vitc garbage on old programs that have been converted from analog broadcasts and then when the ads come on, the vitc disappears from view since the ad was likely produced more recently, so didn't have any of that analog conversion legacy.
Sometimes there's not much to be done about it if the broadcaster isn't interested in fixing old material.

Re: VITC Code
It was on ads too. All sorted now, old programs and all. They never replied to me but at least it’s resolved.

Re: VITC Code
Hi,
The VITC signals are still used for transmitter mode remote control. They are meant to be removed from the actual broadcast signal but sometimes things go wrong.
Regards,
Ian.

Re: VITC Code
Ah, well it certainly went wrong in Brisbane yesterday and today. Never seen it before so it may well have been what you describe. Glad it’s fixed, that VITC is distracting across the top of the screen.
Re: VITC Code
I know this is fixed now, but would the following setting have worked for this?
From live tv:
MENU > Channels
Highlight offending channel from within one of the bouquets, then
MENU > (5) Hide dotted line on the top for this service

Re: VITC Code
The issue in Brisbane was being broadcast in error so the broadcaster had to rectify. I’ll leave your question to the experts but VITC should not be visible to the viewer.
Re: VITC Code
In theory it should have, but I'm not sure if the feature works as well as it should.
The last time I recommended someone try it, it did something unexpected.

Re: VITC Code
I'm spending a few days of medically enforced absence so I can't check. I tried it to fix a problem on a channel 2 service a while back. Basically, it didn't work. Don't recall a specific problem with it though.

Re: VITC Code
I've modified my skin so it hides the green vertical line that occasionally appears on SBS. FAV might be easier than MENU > Channels.
Re: VITC Code
SBS seems determined to deny that even exists.

Re: VITC Code
It most certainly does! But I mainly see it replaying recordings on the PC.

Re: VITC Code
It's, other wise we worldly be discussing it
I don't see it on the main channel as often, but regularly on sbs2.
As someone with an OLED TV, it makes my skin crawl.
This is yet another case where the vast majority of the viewers have overscan settings enabled on their tv, so they never see our, and the complaints are only coming from a handful of obscure PVR weirdos.
