Hi, I'm staying in the Algarve. Up until Tuesday we could watch Challenge TV and Challenge TV +1. But as of yesterday we are only receiving the red 'no signal' image. Do you know of any reason why we should have only lost Challenge (all other freesat channels are working).

Thanks for a great channel, watched loads over Christmas. Two quiz shows I would like to see are: Tom Oconnors cross wits, and one that was hosted by Diddy David Hamilton using a computer keyboard, sorry cannot remember the name. Favourite program, Ninja Warrior. Many thanks.

I have freesat and have been very pleased with it. But I can't pick up the Challenge channel which I watch on Sky and boring they it may seem to some we like to watch the old "Millionaire" programmes. My postcode is EX34 0PL if that makes any difference. I have a Hannspree TV and a Plaza DS100 Freesat HD Box.
Any ideas?

RBunting: Challenge on Freesat is on EPG / LCN programme number 145, if this number is not seen on your listings then carry out a first time installation on your box, this procedure requiring you to enter your post code, the reason for being to enable you to view the news channels / services appropriate for your location.

Daniels: The problem will most likely be resolved by carrying out another Freesat scan, as the device you are using possibly requires its EPG listings refreshed.

Hi, I was the winner of the first Endurance uk show and would love to either watch it again or possibly get a dvd of it to show my children.
Can you help please?

adrian gardiner:

This website could not directly help but you might be better contacting the show's original broadcaster. Or perhaps trying http://www.ukgameshows.co…_UK, Endurance UK (Outro) - YouTube or perhaps http://endurancegb.co.uk/main. There may be other website with suitable offerings.
