#BBC RED BUTTON FREESAT UPDATE#

On the 29th and 30th of June some broadcasters are making changes to their family of channels and Forces TV will no longer be available on Freesat.
#BBC RED BUTTON FREESAT GENERATOR#
Of course it could simply be that the LNB's 22 kHz tone detector has failed, or the tone generator in the TV has failed.Simply press the red button on your remote control at any time. DiSeqC sends 22 kHz pulses for selection of different dishes, while the LNB requires a constant tone. The TV might have a normal/DiSeqC selection mode - you might have selected the wrong mode.

If you have some DiSeqC equipment, it may be blocking some of the selection signals, as it uses the same features. Ideally you would run separate cables to separate outputs on the LNB for each input on each box or TV. If you have split the cable feed from the LNB to more than one box, either only one leg of the splitter will allow the control signals to pass up to the LNB, or if both boxes are on at the same time, the LNB can get confusing signals.

If you are feeding the TV from another satellite box's 'LNB OUT', the other box will have control over the high/low and horizontal/vertical selection signals if it's on rather than in standby, or for recorders it may take control if recording two channels at once. It's possible that something was blocking the 22 kHz tone that the TV sends to the LNB to tell it to switch to the upper band. BBC Red Button currently provides one video stream to all platforms, which can be accessed directly from Freeview channel 601, Freesat channel 981, Sky channel 981 (UK only) and Virgin Media UK channel 991, however the feed is standard definition only.

Bob: Red Button streams are up at 11954 MHz, on Astra 2B rather than 2D where all of the BBC's main channels live.
