I live in scotland and cannot receive FM or DAB radio signals so I have relied on old Thomson and Grundig boxes ( with Freeview cards) for radio reception only . Until today I could receive all normal channels but I now cannot receive standard BBC R1,R2,R3,R4 and Radio 5 channels. I have removed/ replaced cards and find I can only receive various other channels eg. BBC radioscotland 0116, 0106 Classical radio and many others including heart, LBCX, BBc radio wales0117, Capital Xtra 0114 etc.
I do not hold a current Sky subscription ( I use Freesat on Freesat TVs for viewing but rely on these old Sky freesat boxes for separate radio reception.
I have changed address some 6 years ago when I held my original Sky subscription/account but have had no problems in using my relocated sky boxes since that time in receiving all radio channels. Do I need to reset my boxes /cards by reattaching to a tv monitor or has Sky removed these BBC radio channels from their listings.
Txs in anticipation of a solution .

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@mjohnc1 BBC have essentially switch off all SD & Radio services using DVB-S, BBC station have migrated to DVB-S2, if your boxes are SD only then you won't be able to get them unless you get a box capable of HD (DVB-S2)
