    Humax often have 'A Grade' refurbished boxes on their site at around the £150 mark.

    Also worth noting, the 320gb model of Foxsat HD has been discontinued in favour of the 500gb model, so you may well be able to get some good deals on ex display 320gb models.

    Apparently it works only for those approved for Beta testing. We lesser mortals do not have access to 999 and will have to wait for who knows how long :(.


    I'm not approved or anything.... I just read it on Digital Spy forum and gave it a try.
    If it wasn't for the mistakes I made in the past (and learned from), I wouldn't be who and where I am today. It doesn't matter if you've cocked up, what matters is that you put it right and apologise. x

    Two possibilities.

    Are you near a border with Granada TV land?

    If so set up your box with a postcode for somewhere in Leeds - it should retune to give you Calendar.

    Are you you watching ITV HD - channel 119? At the moment north of England ITV HD freesat uses the Granada feed so you get north west local news. For calendar you need to be on channel 103.
    We put our leeds postcode in when asked but we got granada

    Granada on 103?

    If this is the case start again. We are also in Leeds and have never had a problem.
