Sorry, dont quite understand your 'forum speak', me being an uneducated techno freak. In plain english, can I or can i not get BBC and ITV channels plus channel 4 plus other fta channels on my second TV using my old Panasonic Digital satellite receiver, model TU-DSB31, whilst using my main TV linked via a sky HD digibox connected to the same dish. (as per my original post)

Yes you can, and it will do the job, ch5 will need to be added via other channels, and maybe ch4 as well. Try an old credit card in the slot, it might put ch4 into the epg.

I think Nano misread your post.

Hi, Back again. Have set up my 2nd TV as discussed previously..thanks to everyone. However I get BBC London and i live in the midlands. I havent checked ITV yet but suspect i will probalby get the same. How do i find out the frequency number for these channels. Can I replace the London channels on the main listing with the Midland onse, assuming i can tune the v to them.

Unfortunately,you can't change the default BBC and ITV on the epg,as that is stored on the viewing card.
Just watch your regional BBC in the 900's.
BBC 1 West Midlands:channel number:979
BBC 1 East Midlands:channel number:980
As for ITV,the default is ITV Midlands without a card.

Thanks. have worked it out. I also tried to store channel 4, (which I have stored as an additional channel) as one of my favorites for easy access but its not in the favorites listing so I assume I cannot do that.

Re above. Now sorted. Thanks again to everyone.
