I just noticed that the BBC red button doesn't seem to work from a BBC channel added by the ADD CHANNELS menu option, but it does work if I goto the same BBC channel in the auto tuned list. Hope I'm making sense. Anyway I'm sorted. Thanks for the responses.

Hi sykblueboy, That's what I normally do but pressing the red button on remote doesn't do anything anymore. The remote itself is still functioning so it can't be flat batteries so I'm thinking it's a software change. What BBC channel were you on when you press the red button?

The red button option no longer seems to works on the BBC channels which are fed from Astra 2A/2B (but not 2D), like BBC News and BBC Parliament? So if you can't receive Astra 2D then you can't access BBC Sport via red button anymore. Is my thinking right? Is there another way of getting BBC...

Thanks for the feedback. I've not been back to this site for a while as I pretty much gave up hope. However, these last few messages seem to give me renewed enthusiasm. I'm a fan of Formula 1 so I could definetley make use of these BBCi audio/video feeds. Do they broadcast F1 just like on...

Hello Montafon Guy, Thanks for the guidance. From my understanding of the website, I can get 2A and 2B with my dish. With these beams I can get the SKY channels but I assume these are the subscription channels. Am I right in thinking that? The only free channels I can get seem to be: 2A...

Just seen a 2.4m dish advertised for £2,295 (_http://www.satellitesuperstore.com/spain.htm_) so a 3m dish is going to be too expensive for me. Couldn't find anything suitable on Channelmaster. I'm going to have to forget getting bbc1 here on account of expense. I still have my old 0.8m (I...

I was surfing for 3m dishes honest but I just can't find any apart from USA retailers who don't ship abroad. Shipping would be to costly anyway. I'm basically trying to get an idea of cost at this stage.

erh.... I think I meant 3m dish.

Thanks again for your prompt feedbacks. That's a shame, so whatever equipment I get is only going to last until the card expires (if I use a digibox). Been looking at the threads and it seems that if I want to get decent reception of BBC/ITV etc plus subtitles in Hainburg (40 miles east of...

Thanks Topper and PaulR for your responses. Yes fortunately my card has a yellow house on it. I remember it was changed shortly before I moved. I Didn't know they were being replaced though. Do you know if the existing card holders need to request the new cards or will Sky send them out...

I have a old Pace skydigibox (Model: BSKB 2500N) with a non-subscription FTA viewing card and a 1 metre dish. The card has been unused for 6 yrs so I'm hoping it's still valid. I'm going to be in Hainburg (40 miles east of Vienna) in Austria (East) for some time so want to know my options...
