When did you lose it? What kind of receiver do you have?

a Ross receiver freesat lost it 6/8 months ago i have been trying to get them but no joy

Ross don't make Freesat receivers. A Freesat receiver doesn't lose channels when they change frequency, not to mention the fact it would have actual 'red button' linking capability.

There is only 1 red button stream left now & it's on this transponder: 10773 mHz, H polarity, SR 22000. (same tp carries BBC 4).

Why you still on about this??????????
You asked this question in January,and you were told then why.
You were also told then that it is not a FREESAT box.

Freesat is a brand name some equipment makers are licensed to use: Ross isn't one of them.

Freesat features are intended to make satellite viewing more user-friendly & include 7 day programme guide, automatic channel updates & interactive (red button) features.

Your Ross box & others like it have to make do with 'now & next' programme info for the satellites at 28 degrees east & must be manually retuned when channels change frequency. And the 'red button' content isn't actually accessible via the red button.

There is only one stream now and the frequencies are posted above. It's not a freesat box so you need to manually tune it.
