How weird. I will have to search back the posts to find the one where analoguesat gave us those channels to tune in. I did them all. All bar 7450 say "there is a technical fault" and as I said it was pure frustration that made me click the 7450 because what I had tuned in was forever going off.

With what I have, I get ITV, channel4/plus1. E4/plus 1 all with perfect picture and continuity.

I can't explain it anaolguesat .... sowwy

They never launched and disappeared ages ago :) ITV are hoping to launch the 1 +1's at some point but the time wasnt right when they first appeared.

Damn Sky, they changed the transponder for ITV HD in my EPG for my region.

Now i have to go thru the hard way in Other channels everytime i want to watch ITV HD.

It's really stupid of Sky that you can't choose whatever region you like.

... but more importantly you can't record it.

Oh and BTW it wasn't Sky that changed it it was ITV.

Random boost in Signal strength of Channel 4 this evening. My DB showing 73/74% from the usual 67% unfortunately for me just on the edge of breaking up lol.

About five minutes after i posted this the signal strength went back to normal. I don't know how long it lasted but it was at least 30 mins. I didn't really expect it to last but I thought the more technical members would enjoy speculating what would cause the boost in strength.
