    Hi folks,

    I have registered on here to ascertain help that I have tried to find over 3 days on the net.I have a very old but ultra reliable F1-Fox and I noticed that on the BBC website I could get the interactive channels for Wimbledon,GP etc on 12441 v.When I try to tune in I keep getting User and the channel is scrambled.I read thes streams are data not tv.You guys and gals are the experts so any advice you have even if my receiver is nix to these channels I would be very grateful.

    Not familiar with the box but the sports stream are normally accessed by pressing the red button on a bbc channel. Whether this will work on your box not a clue. You can't add them that way using non-freesat mode on a Humax freesat box.

    Welcome by the way.

    Thanks Graham.This is a maybe 12 years old box no Red Button and when tuned in using PIDs etc I get User and then the channel is scrambled.I wonder if my box is too old but it gets all the other BBC/ITV regions ok

    You could of course treat yourself to a FOXSAT-HD or even better a FOXSAT-HDR

    Yes thanks Graham got all this but why do I not get the channels when I put in the various PIDs but a black screen and a scrambled notice.Someone on a satellite forum said the Interactive streams are data not tv and you havta convert them.....

    I don't think that's the reason. For instance some freesat boxes can apparently view them as channels in non-freesat mode.

    Although you can't view them as channels on a standard Freesat box using Raydon's modified firmware on a Foxsat-hdr and the channel editor you can add them to the Freesat channel list. Once there you can not only view the content but can set a manual recording timer. There's no epg of course.
