How "other channels" can mislead you!

Dont wanna be starting no roumers ......

but look what happens when you go through the "add channels" process for 10744H and select "9604"

(only works on a $ky dodgybox)

Is this Channel 4 starting a "Southern Ireland" region perhaps ????

On the other hand look at the "for your information" banner for RTE2
It might be just a gaffe ?

Wasn't there another thread recently saying it possibly was a test for TG4 going widescreen?

It TG4 not C4

Something very odd going on here

When I tune in RTE1 RTE2 TG4 or "9904" via "Other channels" the "for your information banner" I get is that for BBC1/2/C4

This is on a Digibox with a NI freesat card.

Ah well Sorry for getting peoples hopes up with the title of the thread. Maybe the mods can change it

That makes sense.
Each manually tuned channel gets a banner from consecutive EPG channel.

So if 106 is Sky and you tune a 6th "other channel" that can't be decoded you will get the message you get on 106 if you have no card.

Hence your 4th tuned "other channel" gets the c4 banner. On my box it gets the TG4 banner


I don't know why the Digibox does this, but it does.
