No BBC4?

corblimey

Probably already discussed, but my dad notified me last night that he's been without BBC4 for weeks on the 'Other Channels' option. I tried it myself and it just says something about a technical difficulty. A quick Google search only reveals hundreds of pages on how to tune it in, not that it's disappeared. Anyone know anything about this?

Happened to me too. you have to re-tune it in "other channels". Check out the sticky at the beginning of the satellite forum and you will get the updated frequencies.

Thanks joanas, didn't realise the frequencies had changed. My father thanks you too.

joanas

Your welcome. Glad I could help.

On ASTRA 19.E I get a blank screen.
I made an attempt to edit that failed -

T/P index 81/94
T/P frequency selected 10803 MHz
Symbol rate 22003 KS/S

It then asked for Video PID & Audio PID; how deal with this?

Can any one give me some direction on recovering BBC4, please

Thanx, John mac, but that info is 2+ years old, so no help. I lost BBC4 only c. a month ago. I am using a SilverCrest box DVB-S SL65. I lost Men & Motors + Al Jazeera some time back also.

BBC 4 10.803 H 22000 5/6
The frequency listed in the tread is correct. I tuned in BBC4 last night on a friend of mine's sat. receiver using the info. in the tread.

Men & Motors is gone off the air for good, Al Jazeera still there.You just need to do a full scan with that box to find the missing channels then move them to where you want in your channel list.

I, somehow, found Tony's youtube clip, which was very useful, thanx Tony.
I managed the 1st step, to delete, but got badly bogged down on the 2nd step.
I couldn't find 5/6; mine ran from 1/75 to 75/75.
Also couldn't get 22000, nearest was 22003.
Anyway the upshot is I seem to have CBeebies, so will check for BBC4 after 19.00 hours.
Not sure what I may have lost in the labyrinthine scramble.
Thanx again for encouragement in my attempt to recover BBC4.
I'll try for Al Jazeera when I work up enough courage!

. . .optimism unfounded - still no BBC4 - despair!

What about cbbc ?

cardol

Anyone who's lost BBC4 on "other channels" recently, can now retune it on 10802, H, 22.0, 5/6.

Remove the "old" BBC4 first.

fat-tony

Yes but do it after 7pm and before BBC4 goes off air

AMHRASACH

Channel hopping just now, it seems I've got BBC4 after all, tho', for some reason it's showing as 'CBeebies' (@ 22.30 hours.)

I've also got Channel 4 !

Thanx to all you guys on this thread.

Its because of the EPG, Cbeebies shows the EPG for the kids programs upto 7pm and then nothing, you need to find the the BBC4 station to get EPG after 7pm, thats how it is on my silvercrest
