    Hi Folks ,
    Not very well up with the FTA stuff but here goes , Im using the Lidl system and had it set up with no problems for months now a couple of weeks back the BBC channels went blank ( eg black screen , no sound , but still showing the FTA , TXT , INFO on the title bar ) now no other channel has been effected so still have ITV3 and sky news and S4C .. this is on ASTRA 2 , if I go up the channel list .. BBC 1 CENTRAL I can recive ... I belive the frequency is 10773 which I checked last night... has this changed ..
    Im real sorry if this was discussed before I have had a look and couldnt find it .

    Most likely a change of PIDs. Delete the blank BBC channels and rescan the 10773 transponder frequency.

    I had a similar problem with BBC 1 and 2 on Sky, these 2 just gave a blue screen and everything else was fine.

    I had previously extended the cable from the dish to the box, using standard co-ax instead of satellite co-ax. It worked fine for over a year after I extended it, then these channels just dropped. After trying everything else imaginable I got a new length of satellite co-ax and ran it straight from the dish to the box - hey presto BBC is back.

    I still don't know why it only affected BBC.
