    Hi all, on the day when some new channels were added, 'Pick TV' etc, I lost channel 5, ITV HD etc.
    As far as I know no change in weather and set up here (southern Spain), I was receiving these channels OK before.
    I've tried auto re tuning the unit, it finds 188 channels (TV & radio) Ch5 pops up on the EPG but no pictures, same for the other 8 channels that should be on this transponder.
    10964, H, 5/6
    I'm new to this particular Humax machine ( 1 month ) but have had Humax PVR's in the past, I'm stuck!
    Done some Googling and can't see anyone else having my problem.

    Been researching, here's some info for other people around southern Spain etc.
    The 9 channels are on a new satellite, Astra 2F, this satellite uses a focused UK beam for these channels, hence why my 1.5m dish can't receive them.
    Next year another focused beam sat is going up (Astra 2E) and BBC channels are moving to that as well, time I got a Joderall sized dish me thinks!

    See this thread

    Opinion seems to be divided over when the remaining channels move. Some reports say later this month, others say when 2E commissions next year. ASTRA 1N was a stop gap, it's intended for 19.2E.
