Upgrading from Sky to Freesat | Freesat

MattB: You must have a "branded" Freesat box to be able to use the red button services, as the MHEG-5 system is required.

The different BBC regions are on different transponder with different polarity settings, you may have a problem with the LNB not setting the correct polarity.

Mark: Bit hard to say without a full postcode, but if you are getting messages about retuning then you will be using Waltham that completes switchover on 31st August, so you must retune ON that date, not before.

simon offord: You shouldn't need a booster if you are using the Reigate transmitter, I would check your cables and connectors are in good order.

Nick: There is no-one to complain to.

Rabbit and Gay Rabbit are low bandwidth services provided by Teletext Ltd, which as the national teletext operator is allocated 5% of multiplex by the Broadcasting Act. If they were removed, there would be no space for any more TV channels.

The commercial operators do not wish to transmit from the relay transmitters, Ofcom has no powers to force them to do so. This transmitter covers a maximum of only 4,800 homes, they do not regard it as profitable to transmit from masts that cover less than 10,000 homes.
