Hi Deb,
The "installer" who swapped your sky for sky hd has probably disconnected your aerial from your tv. You will need to find your aerial lead & plug it directly in to the tv, then do a retune.

Hi Deb,
That sounds like a power supply unit for a masthead amp, it should be marked up with aerial/in & tv/out, make sure that it is connected the right way round with aerial/in going to the outside & the tv/out is going to the tv.

Hi Davyblue,
I've been told that recent fortec star HD receivers when loaded with the right software will not only pickup free to air broadcasts fron Astra 28.2 but will also decode & display the full freesat epg, & even allow you to set recordings from the freesat epg if you have a usb stick / hard drive attached to the receiver.

Hi Brian,
I found this on their website, it mentions the passion+hd & the innovation hd.
"Firmware PASSION+ HD receiver ( January 07, 2009) Click Here to Download
Fast Download of 7 day Electronic Program Guide
New recording and searching options from info display button. (Passion+, Innovation)
Full updated Freesat Channel List (including numbers) Fixed timer recording option for powered HDD's (Passion+, Innovation)"
I can also report that my technomate tm-5402 can access a different 7 day epg on astra 28.2 & can also set recordings from the epg.

Hi Brian,
If they went for freesat branding they would have to kneecap the usb recording by encrypting the files on the hard drive, there would also be fees & cmpliance testing costs.

Hi Brian,
I suspect that those who buy technomate & fortec star will use them for far more than just freesat, its probably more of a bonus feature, after all if freesat hd is all the user wants then a bush freesat hd is probably a better bet for mass market ease of use.
