    My main BBC1 and BBC2 (channel 101 and 102) channels have disappeared and say "no signal".

    I can access their regional versions though. Anyone else have the same problem?

    Mine are OK, but I'm on Free to Air.

    Turn off your box & turn it on again, just in case its something simple.

    Which region BBC's did you have and what sort of box do you have?

    Perform a new freesat channel scan and enter postcode N22 5SL.

    This will put BBC1 and BBC2 London at 101 and 102.

    Cheers Badger. I'll try that later but I'll probably lose all my non-freesat channels too. I've also lost a few other channels, Channel 5, BBC3 etc.

    Mine are good side note - I see Channel 4 will be going HD in April on Freesat.

    Also, I wish BBC would ever do a +1 channel !

    Get a PVR. +1 channels are a terrible waste now that there are disks big enough to record ALL your favourite channels 24x7 on a rolling 7 day basis.

    and then have to spend hours deleting the 99% of programming you don't watch? Personally i'd rather the +1 channel, although i agree it's only used when all other tuners are busy

    I already have a Sony 160GB hard disk recorder which works well so I won't be getting a PVR for the moment.

    The unit I have is a Grundig GUFSAT02SD.

    Thanks, that worked but I've lost all my non-Freesat channels. Doesn't really matter anyway. There was a lot of junk in there. :)
