A Really Useful Tip

eirman

The next time you get the dreaded "programme synopsis not available" when you press the 'i' button, try the following before before you power down/up - it works most times !

Go BBC on 214 or 215
then open any digital-text page
then exit digital text
Now try the 'i' button on any channel
===============================
This is something you cannot try until you get the error. If you find it works for you sometime in the future please reply to this topic to bring back to the front page so the word spreads.

I have heard of this solution before. This problem happens every now and again on my old Grundig box. When it last happened, I tried to access digital text on BBC but when I pressed the text button I got the following message, "To access teletext first press TV and then press Text". A reboot is the only way to fix the problem if you can't get into digital text.

On my panasonic, which is bbc carded, the other day, I discovered there were no red dots-no BBC i ,no sky dig text etc!
sometimes I wish the Irish subbed box would get the same disease!
Just think-no red active dogs-bliss:)
software update got it all back

If you dont like the red dot then turn it off.. press backup or i think the sky button also works.. backup certainly does.

If ya press RED quickly followed by Backup, the icon won't reappear after adverts.;)
