michele ciniero: If you are also unable to view EPG numbers 81 (Talking pictures) or 106 (BBC Four HD) but can 101, 103 ect, then the problem referred to is most likely caused by the boxes software not having been updated since it was manufactured, this update being released at a later date in order to overcome the problem of the box not being able to respond to more than one HD Mux, e.g: the main being 101/2/3/4 etc, 71 (COM7) being secondary to this.

Should the aforementioned (EPG number info) apply, go into the boxes set up menu / configuration / software update and check the software number, the latest version is V2.58, the old version being V2.39.

If, as suspected, V2.39 is seen then this could well pose a problem for your friend, as "over-air" software are not necessarily forthcoming from Vestel, (the manufacturer) and so the updating procedure has to be done via a download from a PC into a USB memory stick, the data then transferred into the box via its USB port.

By the way, Motors 240 is only viewable on boxes able to be connected into the internet.

How do I get Motors on ch71? I gather that for my area I would use ch46 when manually tuning it. (Teesside)
I am using a Humax HDR2000T, but can not hard wire into my modem, as it is in another room.

Hi
We have just bought a Humax HD Freeplay and found Motors on channel 240.About 3 weeks ago the channel was still listed and the connection seemed to come through, but we only got a " " style screen with columns of bright colours.
Retuned twice - first time we still had 240 showing the coloured blocks, but this week's retune does not have channel 240 listed at all.
We have some either side.
Does anyone know why it would disappear please.
We are on .
Thanks

geneann: Motors TV has now ceased transmission on , the undermentioned explaining the reason why.

Dear Motors TV UK viewers,

Motors TV UK is no longer available on Freeview (channel 71) and (channel 240). We experimented with these platforms to provide additional avenues for showing Motors TV coverage in Britain. However, for various reasons this supplementary service did not match either our expectations or those of our partners, which led us to cease broadcasting Motors TV UK on these platforms.

Motors TV UK remains available to viewers throughout country on channel 447 and Virgin Media channel 545.
