    You can record 2 trick channels together if you have a UTV card.

    Making a statement.
    The question posed was why the box was freezing while recording c4 HD & channel 5.
    They're both channels added using the card trick & I was just pointing out that I thought you can only record one of these & not two together.

    Yea it won't work on the "blue button" but recording 2 trick channels will work if you're lucky enough to get a UTV card.

    Does the UTV card-trick resolve the 'jump to 998' issue?

    It does because the "trick channels" are in the epg instead of being in blue button limbo. The "full" epg with the UTV card won't work if you have the HD pack but it works fine without it.

    Just wondering, I have the NI Sky sub card and a NI FTA Sky card. The NI sub card gets RTE fine on my HD box, but the FTA card which is in an old Pace Sky digibox in the kitchen doesn't.

    Is it possible to use the blue button "card trick" to get RTE on the older box?

    Thanks

    RTE is encrypted, it's impossible to get without a sub.

    Ok. Thanks for the reply.

    I thought it was FTA like many of the Sky channels (Gold, Dave etc) but needed an active sub to receive. My mistake.

    Thanks.

    Where I disable auto standby??

    Did the favourites trick. Channel 5 won't appear.

    Can get 5+1, all the ITVs and BBCs but no regular Channel 5. Have tuned 6 variations of it in other channels and added it to favourites but no joy. Bummer ! Any ideas ?????

    Services, Sky+Setup, The last option is for standby mode. For your CH5 problems go to the kingofsat site to get the frequencies for CH5 and save all variants. I have 5 versions in my other channels.

    Save you the hassle of looking, it's 10.964 H 22.0. Five variants will pop up, save all of them and you're sorted.

    I've got it set now. Thanks folks.

    If I manually put the box on standby will I lose the blue button channels ? Or will I have to leave the box "on" permanently ??

    No, as long as it isn't plugged out or go into Eco Standby it will retain the settings.

    The odd morning you will find the channels gone but it will turn out Sky have updated the software and the box has rebooted and lost the settings.

    BTW my Standby is set to Active and it works fine.

    Remember that a Channel Islands card will also work for the full trick but they're even rarer than UTV ones!

    anyone know where I would get the codes for my uk card? It's shows BBC 1 East on channel 101 when I put it in the box. Just looking to add ITV HD and Channel 4 HD.

    Pity you can't get BBC 3/4 HD.

    Thanks

    Channel 4 HD isn't regionalised, the ITV HD's are, if your card has it's ITV HD region on a DVB-S2 transponder then you're not going to be able to tune it in any way, go here for full transponder listings http://en.kingofsat.net/pos-28.2E.php and tune in all the ones you can, you might be lucky.
