Hi Clive
I was referring to the up and down channel button which is the same shape as
the volume up and down. It is on the right side of your remote control. I
don't use 996 either, it's way too slow. I just thought that if I used the
numberpad to get me to 996, I could then use the channel button to take me
to 993 which it did. But actually keying in 993 didn't move me. But I have
started to use 973 now that I am aware of the change.
In my honest opinion, 996 is a waste of space. As you say, you could watch
a programme before you got to the channel you want. It is always slow to
update, like the Word document version Sky produce.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hello Jackie,
I hope it won't be long before they update the 996 channel to match the new
numbers. Strictly speaking, the two changes could have been made
simultaneously.
What's this rocker? I didn't know about that, so never use 996, because I
thought it would take a programme's worth of time to wade through the lot to
get to the number you want.
Best,
Clive

Hi Clive
Yes indeed, I agree. I put in 993 and got nothing, so wondered if the box
had locked up as it sometimes can. But when jumping back to the tennis on
102, it allowed me to do this. In the end, we put in 996, which is the
audible channel list page, then moved the up and down channel rocker to 993,
and there was ITV with AD. Not sure how that worked out, but that's how we
did it. Now I know it has moved, I can jump straight to 973. But you make
a valid point!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Steve,
Certainly when we select 103 we don't get AD but when we select 993 (no2
973), we do.
As for your other point, if you'd only ever see "channel number not
available" when you punch in a number and nothing happens, you're right, it
doesn't matter. If a failure would get another message if, say, your remote
batteries were low, then it's not so obvious, because you'd want to know the
difference.
Best,
Clive
