[QUOTE="unmissable, post: 22677, member: 176003"] I have a similar problem to Rutledge. I live in Belgium and like many of my expat neighbours have Sky using a minidish. I was fairly unique when I lost BBC on the switch to 2D. Having read this forum several times (and I thank all of you for the information), I have followed the advice learnt about about the system and have re-positioned my dish to a different corner of the house. I now can get BBC and ITV but only in strange circumstances: I have always only been able to get ITV by using the scroll up on the remote (pressing 103 never works). However I now have a similar problem with BBC. If I press 101 (or 102 or 624 for Cbeebies etc etc) I get nothing, BUT...if I select 105 (Channel 5) and then 101 BBC works and lets me scroll up through the channels (including ITV). If I select 105 and scroll down I get Channel Four and then nothing!! This fix only seems to work with 105 and not 104. (I have to admit I haven't tried all 999 channels. I have a Panasonic decoder with a minidish and was given a new card by SKY about two months ago. Can anyone out there suggest a reason, or do I put it down to PFM (Pure F...ng Magic) Unmissable [/QUOTE]
