    Channel 4 Freesat reception problem

    Thanks for that. It sounds as if I might have an excuse to go out and get a new Humax Foxsat HD PVR! On the subject of receiving Five; I came across the following on a Spanish ex-pats site this afternoon. I gave it a try, but all I got, having set everything according to the instructions (using...

    Channel 4 Freesat reception problem

    I have two digiboxes, one is an older Grundig and the other a Panasonic Sky Digibox 2.1.W. Recently, I noticed that Channel 4 reception on the Panasonic is getting very poor, with lots of pixelation and picture freezes. However, the Grundig box is working fine. I have just put a new Sky card in...

    Communal system query

    Thanks for all the thoughts on this one. From what's been said, it looks as if we will have to go with the three separate installations for the apartment blocks and abandon the idea of offering a communal system to the freehold houses.

    Communal system query

    ITV HD Humax HDCI-2000

    I have spoken to a nice lady at ITV and asked her why I can't see ITV HD on my Humax channel listings. She told me that this is because ITV HD is not transmitted as a separate channel, like the BBC, but is provided as a 'Red Button Service'. This apparently means that when they decide to...

    ITV HD Humax HDCI-2000

    I have a feeling I might regret asking this, but here goes. I'm a complete novice when it comes to satellite systems. Perfectly happy doing just about anything with a Linux PC, but often baffled by my Humax HDCI2000. I've been trying (without success) to get it to list ITV HD. When the simple...
