BBCi on FTA box

    This does NOT put BBC interactive on a FTA box.

    It is simply the settings of the video streams which a scan on a FTA receiver that has all the other important channels will find automatically.

    It won't be interactive nor access BBCi text.

    I honestly don't think this is worth sticking. Also these channels change at major events, that information gets out of date quickly. Just before times like Wimbledon etc just do a FTA only scan and check all the new channels that have odd names.

    Apologies Watty. Tried in my FTA box and got the 7 BBCi screens seperately but couldn;t get the news ones seperately, is there anyway to do this bar getting a sky box?

    No. If you want BBCi or Sky Interactive etc the ONLY way is a Sky box.

    My solution is to have a FTA box on the motorised dish, a FTA PVR, PC based PVR and 2 x Digiboxes on a 4 xSatellite distribution system (16 outputs).

    Obviously for convieniance one Digibox has a basic ROI sub and the other one is convinced it is in N.I. :)
