I tuned all my channels at initial set up with no problem. Out of the blue Channel 204 - Euronews has disappeared. This happened from morning of one day to the evening with no messing by me with any settings etc. in between. Do I have to re-tune the whole channel set and thus lose my favourites and recording schedule or is there a chance the channel may re-appear? Or is there any way to just re-tune one channel? Thanks for any help

I have the same problem. No idea why and I am unable to find Euronews in the channel listing.

It was deleted yesterday. It will have gone yesterday on G2 boxes and overnight on Foxsat boxes.

Thanks. Does this mean it's gone forever? Can Humax just delete a channel at anytime even one as popular as Euronews?
Would I still be able to get 204 on a standard TV Freesat tuner or has it gone from Freesat itself. Thanks for help in understanding what's going on.

It's a commercial decision by the broadcaster to not pay the freesat epg fees. So it will not be viewable on any Freesat box in Freesat mode. If the broadcaster continues to transmit from 28.2E Free To Air you will be able to view it by adding it to non freesat mode. If it is encrypted in future only a Sky box with a suitable card will be able to view it.
Parameters for non freesat mode.
Frequency 11464, Polarisation H, Broadcast Standard DVB-S, Modulation QPSK, Symbol Rate 22000, Forward Error Correction (FEC) 5/6
Note the above transponder should still be in the manual tune transponder list as it also carries channel 211 CCTV-NEWS

In your case if you click on transponder all you should find it already there so no need to use the user define option.

All is not lost as it is still "live" on my Mobile app.

I was actually watching Euronews when it was dropped. I have now successfully added it as a non-freesat channel (HDR 1000 S).| Tue 27 Sep 2016 15:14:46 #7 | -
I find France24 far better than Euronews, and I now prefer to watch it in the morning instead of BBC Breakfast news which has become the morning version of the One show.

Since losing Euronews have done interesting trawl around the many news channels. France 24 does seem pretty good but doesn't have some of the services on markets and exchange rates. I know I can get these elsewhere but they were handy on Euronews. Not the end of the world but a surprise that channels can just disappear. I had a quick try at setting up as a non Freesat channel with no success but in any case it would be a bit of a drag changing from Freesat to transponder each time I wanted to see Euronews.
Thanks for all the very helpful comments on this post. This Forum certainly responds well with lots of knowledge available| Tue 27 Sep 2016 18:12:39 #9 |
