Paul: Yes. From 17 Aug 11 you will receive the D3+4 multiplex.
However, you will in fact, from 21 Sep 11 be best advised to switch to Emley Moor for a better service.

Peter: It sounds like there is a serious fault with the box, I would think you will need to speak to a Sky engineer.

Edna: You can't get FreeVIEW with a Sky box, but you can watch the fSfS (Freesat from Sky) channels - see the list on the All free-to-watch channels | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page.
You will need a satellite signal cable attached from one of the two spare outputs on the "LNB" on the dish to your box, but this is all that is required.

Patrick Podd: Reception during thunderstorms is not really a good idea, but no faults have been reported at the transmitter.
Your box may have lost settings, can you try My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice ?

Chris: The beam for that transponder is slightly different to the "normal" ones for the UK - see Eutelsat satellites : EUROBIRD 1 satellite at 28.5 degrees East - this could be the cause.

Nick: Most, but not all, Freeview boxes offer the 14:9 option, which is what you see on analogue TV.
However, some boxes only offer "centre cut out" 4:3 and the "thin letterbox" 16:9 options.
