I don't know why i'm not able to view them as most of the other encrypted channels are working perfectly. By the way, I did change them from data to stream via dreamboxedit and i was able to watch them for a few days but now they've disappeared. All I see now is a black screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

The stream identifiers change quite frequently so your likely to have to manually update the configs on a regular basis.

If its the Sky News Red Button feed you are looking for, you can add it to your bouquet using my attached file:
open DreamBoxEdit and load the bouquets you are currently using, then goto the top menu and do: Import > Re-import exported bouquet file. (and choose the text file attachment)
This will add a bouquet to your list called SkyNewsActive - where you will find the Sky News Red Button Channel.
Or download the bouquet file attached if that's easier for you (but you'll have to change it to your own region's channels)
(Use the audio key to choose the audio stream you wanna hear)

No bother - there is a folder in the bouquets there 'Sky Sports Interactive'
but all I'm getting just now is "This is low band option 1..." etc

So you're getting a blank screen as well?

basically - most of the channels do work, but don't show anything.
it just says on the screen 'this is low band option 1' or option 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 etc and a woman speaks saying the same thing
though maybe there is nothing to show just now? but I doubt it

I don't even hear a woman. lol
I checked these channels the other day to see the football first show and that's when they are meant to be on anyway but I got a blank screen and its been like that ever since.

Your best bet is probably to update your bouquets to the latest ones, reboot and see if that's sorted it out

I'm not sure then, especially if your other encrypted channels are ok. I always use the bouquests posted to this thread: http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f39/sgtflipflop-skyuk-bouquets-updated-regularly-163750/index66.html#post1293105
might be worth a shot if they are different to the ones you have tried already
