Sky box problem

Postby Allan.L » Tue Feb 19, 2019 11:46 am

I brought over a replacement sky box which works fine in uk but cannot get itv 1. It gets all the other usual channels even itv +1. Tried all sorts but lost for what to do now. Any ideas?

I live just over the boarder in Alameria and can't get ITV on 103, which is the hd transmission, try 803 the sd transmission. The old Sky box receives ITV on 103, but it is the sd tramsmission.

Some Sky HD boxes have been allocated ITV1HD on 103.
ITV1 HD is one of the weakest frequencies, and needs the dish to be perfectly aligned, and the LNB skew to be perfect. (and the right sized dish!). Even a few millimeters can make a difference.
As mentioned, the SD version is on 803, which you should be able to get, as the SD versions are slightly easier to receive.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it

Thank you. 803 works!
