Title: ITV1+1 on Sky?
Post by: jonny2112 on 27 January 2012, 12:38:36
Before I join the sky telephone queue, does anyone know how to add this channel to the epg?
TIA  :y

That's what I was told, but on our set this channel is unavailable  :-\
I thought maybe it needed to be set up manually?

You may well have to stick with the cutting-edge in broadcasting that is UTV, John. ;D ;D ;D

Or, if you want something more 'civilised' (but not by much) ITV London can be found on Sky 993. - Both best avoided in my experience.

Funny, was just thinking that maybe its not available in NI? Despite still being part of UK  ::)

Although it's an old thread it may provide a work around;

If you are a jazz fan you'll also find that Jazz FM is unavailable on the 'National' DAB radio system within the curtilage of Northern Ireland - due to licensing issues.

Or

Should you wish to avail of offers made to those who subscribe to Weight Watchers on the mainland you’ll find them unavailable to similar fatties in Northern Ireland.

Or

Should you wish to purchase a 47KG bottle of gas you’ll find it considerably more expensive there than it is on the mainland.

The list could go on, but that’s for another thread.

If it's not there by default I can only assume that Sly (no, that's not a spelling mistake) have failed to screw UTV for some ridiculous amount for the channel slot.

You could try adding it manually as described >HERE< (http://www.stevelarkins.freeuk.com/itv_regions_sky_digibox.htm)
