been caught out twice now with nottm relay, just re-read all above and only 5 mux for sd channels !!! is this the same for all transmitters? and mux psb3 (ch21) is hd? as i thought mux's 7&8 would be used for that? comes up "unidentified" on meter (ch 21) but a strong reading.

briantist, done a job today taking an extra line of an octo lnb to a kitchen freesat box. 6 lines in use on the octo ok but this new line cuts the scart signal to tv when the dish feed is connected? tried 2 scart cables ,2 freesat boxes and 2 lines of sattelite cable. any ideas? basically when its all connected up the freesat picture is there but the tv jumps between ext2 and tv every couple of seconds? take the sattelite feed out and it stays on ext2. scart can only connect to ext2

briantist, thats the only option i didnt have? been back with a standard sky box and no probs? feel sure its a software issue in low priced freesat boxes and low priced tv's at moment. first encounter and last i hope? can i blame the tv's scart socket when the sat feed causes the problem? did a connect today using audio/video leads but lost picture as soon as i changed channel? even tho the freesat box menu showed up? just picture stream loss?

best way to think of this in my experiance is to consider sky sports games as best quality stream? if a game is not being shown live somewhere, it wont be streamed! and no club will broadcast every game as they will lose on season ticket sales an revenue! hope this helps mate. nffc

jb38, audio/video? yes thats why i tried it, the freesat boxes were a goocmans and a bush. both bottom entry models with same menus/remotes, tv was a technika i think? seen these connected before with no probs? told customer to buy a better quality freesat box with hdmi, hope this works?

Malcolm Molloy: according to the site you will get the freeview light service after aug 31, all mainstrem bbc's itv's ch4's and ch5 will be on that service. you will get more choice thru a satellite service but that depends on what you want to watch mate

want an interactive freesat box with an rf modulator in it? would like to avoid a sky box if poss as this will be for a buisiness address! is there such a box on the market? i know i can convert scart but that can cause pic roblems an disrupt freeview (when an if it works at addrss)
