Read the very first post it details how to do the 'card trick' and yes you will need another card, they are available here

Might have been mentioned before but no trickey cards or anything is needed for recordable BBC1 HD. Its on 234.

Channel just gone from 105 after the card trick. Have got it back in other channels (re post below), anyone know if this will come back to 105 after I do the card trick again?

Channel 5 on Astra 2D is gone, you need to tune in the ones on 1N
10.964, H, 22.0, 5/6

You need to match the correct region of C5 in Other Channels to your FTV Card in order to get it on 105 - some of the regions are as follows:

Channel 5 Region 1 (7700/2305) = London
Channel 5 Region 3 (7702/2313) = North
Channel 5 Region 4 (7703/2317) = Scotland
Channel 5 Region 5 (7704/2309) = ???

Probably handiest to just save them all if you have the space.

Picture quality is much worse on this version than the old one.

I always thought the old version had very good PQ for an SD channel.

BBC One HD wasn't on the Irish EPG when this trick was initially discovered.

I have stored them all but CH 5 is still showing a technical fault on the EPG..... do I need to reboot and do the card trick again??

Fraid you have to do the card trick again after scanning and storing them.

When I put in the new frequency last night for ch 5 it brought up around six of them, does it matter which one I pick, just thought the picture was not as good as before or should I pick another of them and see what the picture is like or are they all the same.

DigiDec

You need to pick the one for the region of the card you have, if you have enough room left install them all.

Hi DigiDec I have it in other channels as I have the Sky sub card, I will try them all and pick the best one, thanks for the help

DigiDec

Don't forget to do the whole card trick again after you put the channels into other channels if you know what I mean.

I do but I understand you need a FTV card to carry it out how can I do it with my subscription card ?????

DigiDec

You can't, not with an ROI sub card, you need a UK sub or ex-sub card or a FTV card for the trick to work

Delete all the channels out of 'Other Channels' that reference Five and then retune 10.964 and store EVERYTHING in there. Let me know how that works out for you.

Just heard that the Card Trick doesn't work on the new 1TB box, has anyone on here tried it on one?

florryfox

It has worked on my amstrad 1tb box no problem since you highlighted the trick.
Is there a newer 1tb box out now?

gtg60

He just got his today, it's an Amstrad too.
