    This might be of interest, is it a foxsat? Haven't checked mine at home but think those channels still work. Have you rebooted it /forced a channel scan ??

    Couple of glitches it seems - I had to do a re-scan on mine last night too as the EPG wasn't repopulating.

    New firmware out since earlier in the year does an automatic scan at 03.00 each morning. So no more prompts to re-scan. Do you turn off your receiver at the mains at night?

    Depends on the BBC/ITV region you want

    For BBC NI and UTV use BT2 5HQ
    For West Midlands / Central use B1 2JP
