scott: Yes, the second tuner is only used when it is required. You need to find out what is preventing your signal getting to the second input. With the power off.

Terry: Glad you've got your things sorted out.
You ask a good question or two.
"It is still not clear to me whose responsibility it was to ensure everyone affected knew about the change and what to do."
Well, not Digital UK. They were very clear that 11 January was an Arqiva and ITV event.
And perhaps BT. BT Vision bought the space on the Arqiva multiplex (in a deal with the BBC in pre-switched areas) in post-switch areas.
But there was a bit of a screw-up with this transmitter. Either BT don't have their space for some months (and can't sell Sky Sports 1 and 2) or a change has to be made. Even though, as you point out, it causes people problems.
So Sky bites BT bites Arqiva (bites BBC) bites ITV doesn't bite Digital UK.
Or, to be beief, it's a bit of a cock-up.

scott: There must be some reason for you having a "no signal" on the second input.
As there are two connections and two cables connecting up, a visual check might reveal what the problem is as they should be identical in every way.

Jan: You can't "unlock" such a device. You need to buy a "generic" satellite receiver.

stephen rawstron: The public service transmitter already carry all the multiplexes they will ever transmit. The commercial operators do not regard them as economical and rejected the offer of frequencies to broadcast on some years ago.

Alex: The card provides access only to three channels: Sky3, Fiver and Five USA.
Otherwise the box will work will show all the other free channels with or without a card.
The £25 card will provide no more channels or service than an expired subscription card.
