    Welcome to the forums.

    In what way does it not work? Are you seeing a picture?

    Hi moggs,

    Have you just discovered this channel or used it previously? Channel 100 is designed for Freeview PLAY boxes & only works on newer boxes. As far as I know it won't work with Humax T2 or even the Youview boxes. Here is a link to the Freeview play menu for more information:

    Channel 100 is also designed for non freeview-play boxes.
    On non freeview-play boxes there was also an alternative use of Channel 100 that continued after the launch of freeview play's version of LCN100. To quote from the current content of the freeview site:

    Go to Channel 100 in the TV Guide, where you'll get information on any new channel launches and also general Freeview support.

    This also used to work on the pre-BT/EE TV Pro Boxies, although when it was initially launched youview used to suppress channel 100 from being tuned, but they ceased that suppression in a later update, and up to recently has been working fine.

    If you are referring to the freeview view information version of channel 100, then that recently has started to just show a black screen on other older freeview (and youview) boxes as well.
    My guess is that it has been dropped, but I haven't seen any announcement of that.

    I'm wondering if this will be used as a test of whether any one complains and the next thing could be a retry at dropping the red button text function.
