Recording BBC red button channels on sky

[DarrenSV650S]

Anyone know the frequencies for the red button channels on sky so that I can add the channel then record it?

I've tried the frequency here but it didn't find them http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/info/...quencies.shtml

If I understand your question correctly, it doesn't quite work like that. They've multiplexed 6 low-res into one channel, so you can't just record a single stream. The sky box then uses 'pan & scan' to select and upscale whichever stream you select. It's on 11954 H 27500 2/3 and is called T7 STRM-0

you cant record it as the Sky+ box does not record on 'Other Channels' feature that allows you to put your own channels by frequency/stream in

wyrdness what happened to STRM 2-8, they used to be each available on 12441 V 27500 2/3 but now nothing, the frequency is active but not showing any channels active

I couldn't remember if Other Channels are recordable. I've been working on digibox for a months and that doesn't have recording capability.

No idea what happened to that frequency. Things change all the time and I haven't worked in Interactive for ages (and never BBC Interactive).

it used to be on my freeview box tht the red button channel was also available at the bottom of the channel list like number 300 odd or something stupid, dont really know if sky do tht too, like have it hidden away at the end
