    If we are desperate to have CH4 HD in Ireland on a SKY box, Take out the SKY card from the box, go to the installer menu, do a rebuild and hey presto, when to box reboots, CH4 HD is on the EPG on Ch140, when you are finished watching the programme and want to go back to your SKY package, simply put back in the card and after about 90 seconds, the SKY intro page Ch998 appears, and when that happens, you are back to your package.:)

    It came on last Tuesday with very little fanfare and it's a great addition - particularly for the amount of stuff they have with 5.1 sound.

    "The Ten Commandments" looks and sounds terrific at the moment. Great bank holiday fare.*

    I have the same problem and can only put it down to cabling. If I bring my freesat box upstairs to another TV connected to the same LNB I can get it but not downstairs. The same applies to a couple of other channels like CBS.

    They are on Eurobird, which can be weaker. A slight dish or LNB realignment may do the trick.

    Perhaps a slight movement of your dish is required to pick up Eurobird @ 28.5E. Can you recieve any of the other Eurobird channels?

    If the dish is not aligned properly, why can I get them on another TV operating from the same dish and the same LNB.? I know it sounds stupid but would the port on one end of the LNB be more out of alignment than the port on the other end? I can also get the CBS channels perfectly on a 60 cm Lidl dish connected to a Sky box, it just bugs me because the place I want to get C4 HD is the one place I can't get it.

    bmaxi - I didn't read the whole thread but is there a DECT phone near the cabling of the box which isn't working for CH4 HD? I've read on other posts that the DECT signal can affect certain channels.

    No, no phone.

    Check all cable connections between lnb and your receiver and maybe try a full freesat retune on your receiver.

    Thanks, I do think it's the cabling although all the connections in the attic are good and tight although I suppose there could be a stray wire in there, maybe I'll make new ones. The connections at the LNB would necessitate Bmaxi climbing a ladder, that will require much contemplation. :)

    Hi,

    I had a similar problem on the Mvision 200 combo, I had to edit the TP to get it working. I picked Eurobird 3 Satellite (One I don't use) and hit the red button to edit the transponder to:

    Frequency 12606
    Symbol Rate 27500
    Polarization Vertical-13V
    Modulation DVB-S2 QPSK
    Pilots Off
    FEC 3/4
    Search Option One TP

    Once I did this, the S and Q bars came in perfectly, and I was able to tune in C4HD. The Default settings for Astra 2 don't have 12606V set correctly, you can probably edit this directly, but better just to use a satellite setting that you don't use e.g. Eurobird 3.

    Thank you very much c4hd works for me on mvision 300 combo
