Just an idle thought, satellite transmissions have content that normal Sky/freesat receivers don't pick up, feeds, channels not in the EPG, I imagine there is more but my knowledge isn't great! Does freeview have anything similar? I appreciate the bandwidth for freeview is much smaller than...

People starting sentences with " So" ,I no longer watch country file because of this.

Damn! More work!

We removed ours a couple of years ago, I didn't think of taking the bricks out until I had done 2 of them, nearly killed me! We still have the brackets on the wall I am ashamed to say, I would suggest grinding them off.

just deleted and rescanned 28E (fixed dish)very quick blind scan, 2 mins tops, but still the same fault on all hd channels, will give a factory rest a try next, going away to the borders soon, see you all Monday with the results! Cheers and thanks for all the help, all the best to you all!

The receiver only has scart and hdmi out puts, there is no audio on either for HD and audio on both for SD. Think this is going back!

Sorry, I should have said, the SD channels are all fine, no amount of faffing in the menus will get audio on the HD channels.Tried several HDMI cables including swapping end to end all with the same result. It is identifying the HD channels audio as AC3, could this be anything to do with it?

Blimey, thanks for all the help, busy thread! I have been at work all day and only just got in, anyone have any idea why I am getting no sound on the HDMI? I can live without the epg (its not the end of the world, we can use out old TVs freeview EPG). Also, on the plus side, we both retire...

Thank you for the quick replies gents,I suspect Lazarus is right! I can live without the EPG but it would be nice, more for my lass than me. The only ID i can find on it is the H/W version number in the settings, this is dvbst_evb_V02 googling this brings up nothing. Also I am getting no...

Hi, following on from my "what Freesat receiver should I buy" thread, I bought this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MDN7IWH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Try as I might I cannot find the make or model, only used it on freesat (it does freeview too) so far and whilst I am...

Cheers, our sky box is SD and its about time we upgraded!

We gave up on sky yesterday, now fancy a freesat HD box, hd a look at Argos but they seem very pricey? Don't really need recording abilities, just a basic box with a decent EPG.

Not sure if it will suit but we love our sky router, rock solid (unlike the talk talk router supplied) and you can get them for a fiver on the bay.

Gordon, better internet promised at the end of the year but we shall see. Are there any decent pubs in Gala? All we found were both rough and empty!

Hi all,I could do with some advice on whether it is worth restarting my sat. hobby? I have a penta 85cm dish and motor and an old spiderbox 9000HD, it was mainly used for football with 3pm Saturday kickoffs a priority, this was back when there were a number off packages opening with keys. At...
