dave bambrough: I replied to your posting made earlier on @ 7.43pm under a "satellite heading" and where you had referred to a "no default transponder" message being seen, can it be taken that this latest 8.31pm posting is referring to a separate Freeview device that you also possess?
If though it is, then are you connected into a communal dish / aerial distribution system?
