mike l: Check that the viewing is properly seated, and also current. Try removing the card, carefully cleaning the contacts, and putting it back in.

Watch, Gold and Dave are all encrypted and the viewing card has to decrypt the data before the and sound can be decoded. The viewing card also tells the box which variant of BBC One to put on 101, and which variant of ITV1 to put on 103, based on the postcode that the card was sent to.

Hi, I had a message on my TV, saying I would loose 82 (Sky News), I am in the area (Milton Keynes). I got it perfectly the day before. I have checked numerous web pages, and all say Sky News is available in my area. I have tried a retune, a factory reset, all to no avail. Any ideas?
