Looks like the elves have been tinkering again at Freesat (or wherever it gets done) as a block of channels has gone missing on my Foxsat-HDR 145 - Really 146 - Quest Red 147 - DMAX 148 - Food Network 149 - HGTV 150 - Quest 151 - Quest +1 152 - Quest Red +1 153 - DMAX +1 154 - Food Network +1...

Thanks for the advice. I'll get some isopropyl and give it a go.

Hi Folks I have a Finepix HS50 which I haven't used for a while. All the rubberised bits on the body have gone sticky. The rubber bits on the lens barrel are OK. Does anyone have any suggestions as to if/how I can remove the stickiness?

Hi Folks Looks like the Legend and True Crime channels have gone the same way as the U&xxxx channels. Whilst flipping through the channels tonight they were coming up as 'scrambled or not available'. I applied the same technique, delete the offending channels and Freesat tune, and they...

What about NATO written as Nato? Seen on BBC News quite regularly.

I am relying more on Freesat lately as my Freeview signal is deteriorating due to tree growth over the years. I lost Emley Moor 5-6 years, or more, ago due to the trees in Wath Wood. I've been using Crosspool in Sheffield since then but the top end MUXes on RF42/45 can be a bit dicky when it's...

HB/HDR EPG seems to be populating normally today but am going run with padded recordings over the weekend.

Have switched to padded recordings on my Foxsats and given up with my HDR-1010/HB-1000 for now as the EPG always starts up with nothing whereas the Foxsat retains it somewhere. I seem to remember an issue like this some time last year but I was not using the HDR/HB receivers then. Don't know...

Foxsats are populating the EPG but test recordings have failed to start. HDR test recordings have also failed to start.

My Foxsats seem to be OK now but the HDR-1010 and HB-1000 are not populating the EPG or Now-Next. Have left the HB on to see if it will populate. Still nothing after 20 minutes

Thanks BH. I'll have a look at that one.

I'm experiencing problems with Freesat tonight. Firstly I noticed my recording of 'House of Games' had overrun by 30 minutes. Other scheduled programmes on BBC4 had failed to start. I have chunks of EPG missing - both whole channels and bits of channels. Now/Next is showing the programmes for...

I don't have a smartphone.

I am looking for a DAB radio adapter to use in my ageing Astra. I want something that plugs in the cigar lighter for power and either transmits in the FM radio band or plugs into the auxiliary audio socket. I found the Pure Highway devices which seem to be the sort of thing I want but they...

Looks like Dave and Yesterday have changed too. What else is in the UKTV stable? Just had a look on UKTV website - nothing else that's on Freesat.
