Looks like my in laws have the same fault as Frances. Red or Blue selection for games or holidays after about 5 seconds on Sky News (Channel 82). Location is Pudsey (West Yorks) so transmitters will probably be Idle.

Frances et al: it's *probably* an error at Sky's broadcast centre or Arqiva's multiplexing centre. The mention of a delay and 'press red' suggests that it might be a bug or incompatibility in new MHEG software for the Sky Text service.
You could try doing a factory reset on your box. This might also be called a full retune, first-time installation, 'reinstall all channels', default setting, or 'virgin mode'. If you've needed to do a manual retune in the past, you will need to follow whatever steps you did then.
Richard and John: If you did a full retune/factory reset at the last round of changes at your transmitters, I'd be very surprised if the box had managed to screw up its programme guide this soon. That would point to a general fault in transmission.

Numerous "Factory resets" have not worked and so it must be "an error at Sky's broadcast centre or Arqiva's multiplexing centre".
How can we feed back to them and get it corrected?
