Title: CH 5 on sky
Post by: oceansoul on 07 April 2009, 20:19:53

Is anyone else having problems with C5 (or the other 5 related channels i.e. fiver and 5US) on sky? Mine just says no sat signal being received. All other channels are fine (except the 5 related channels). Nothings moved etc.

un-watchable.

Had the same problem, just unplug the box for 5 minutes, the C5 channels changed to a different frequency's but didn't re-tune on some sky boxes.

"Had the same problem, just unplug the box for 5 minutes, the C5 channels changed to a different frequency's but didn't re-tune on some sky boxes."


Could that be the reason why our freeview box isn't playing any of the five related channels without breaking up?

likely, just re-tune the box

If you're tuned into Crystal Palace, CH5 is (as I recall) on a different mast to all the others and so often suffers from reception problems.

I, too, get picture break-up or "No Signal" message on Freeview.

I believe it is just due to the frequency changing - I managed to sort out my home TVs that wern't recieving it by re-tuning.  :)

I just checked it out. Ch5 analogue is definitely transmitted from a mast at Croydon, although this link seems to suggest digital does come from CP, but it's not clear.
