Some months ago, on C44, a very clever techie told us Sky users how to get the "BBC Red Button" channels back after the Beeb took them away from us. It now seems that they have been taken away again. Are there any techies out there who know how to get the Red Button channels back again? Would be very grateful to know as we enjoy the Beeb's coverage of GP and Sky F1 too. Also coverage of lots of other sports too. Many thanks for any help.

no, they moved to the new satellite now(same as bbc and itv) and there is no way to get them back, not via any satellite dish anyway.

Well I hate to say this but 6m's attempt to get other systems closed down and promote SKY has now come back to bite him in the backside and you will not hear from him again. My guess is that Iceman regrets doing business with him and has now been left to pick up the pieces.

And relevance of this information to the actual question is?

We actually did inquire about 6.5m dishes for BBC and ITV in the beginning of the year, price range of 35,000USD not including installation, but even so, not guaranteed that it will work.

A 9m dish looks like a sure thing buy prices start from 120K USD, as u said, bit overpricey for individual use
