    hi guy's,
    was messing around with my irish sub and uk non sub boxes today and always taught chart shw tv was fta.I removed my irish card and put it in backwards and rebooted to load in the epg with just all the fta channels available.

    when the box rebooted all the usual fta channels loaded up but chart shop tv was not on it.Video vault was however.

    What i don't understand is when i remove my irish sub card with the usual irish epg i can still get chart show tv on the box fta.
    Also when i remove the uk bbc card from the other box the channel is still viewable.

    why does it not show up on the epg with just the fta channels on it? any idea's ?

    digitalman.

    Yeah, i noticed this too and thought it very strange for it not to be enlisted without a card. I guess you can manually tune it in via Add Channels if you know the frequency.

    I remember the same thing when Q channel was FTA. You had to manually tune it to watch it. Unfortunately, the channel finally encrypted and lost its way somewhat! :(

    There seem to be a couple of Pay channels on the "FTA Epg"
    There are a few channels missing (recent additions) from the FTA EPG, they do work via other channels.

    I haven't checked fully but the following are FTA (work with no card via Other channels)
    P-Rock
    Performance
    Classic FM TV
    Chart Hits TV & Chart Shop TV
    BBC Radio 7
    S4C

    They may be missing from FTA EPG though.

    I have full details of ALL FTA channels on Eurobird / Astra2, as my PC Card receiver doesn't care for Sky EPGs. It just automatically adds *ALL* the channells. I then delete the Black Screen TV and Silent Radio (Except I keep the Encrypted Irish TV as the Teletext still works and PC stores ALL the pages and works with mouse click on page numbers anywhere in a page).

    I'll set up a web page if there is any demand.

    This site is useful: http://www.wildsat.com/

    WWW.astra.lu lists the astra transponders, but not Eurobird

    www.lyngsat.com lists the kitchcen sink, if it is in orbit transmitting something.
