How do I get a test card with Freeview
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV Go to channel 200 on Freeview, by entering [2] [0] [0] on the remote.

When this screen appears press [YELLOW], wait 2 seconds press [CH+], wait 5 seconds press [CH-]. When the above screen appars again, press [GREEN] and you will see:

Now press [GREEN] to see the test card (it may take several seconds to appear).

Ron Lake: It works on any Freeview device that supports MHEG-5, and as a text service has nothing at all to do with the power level.

Hi,
Can you still see the test card at channel 200? I have tried, but the screen simply says Data.

I can only see the three screens on Channel 200, until I tune away. Then the Welcome words appear for a second. Tuning back just gives the three screens again. After that only the red button works, taking you to Channel 1.
In the evenings there is a different screen, asking you to choose a region.
What has happened?

After numerous EPG channel number changes you start by accessing Red Button channel on 250 by entering that number directly or selecting from EPG, channel list or so on

Don't think this works now, even if you start from page 250.

Still works for me. In fact there are more(but not necessarily useful) options on the 'secret' screen.

The simple answer is there is no channel (LCN) 200.
