    Maybe they're testing FTA / FTV broadcasts for Ireland?

    Can't remember BBC Testing the regions but I do remember when they were testing BBC1NI availability on Irish subscription cards (way back when BBC1NI was on channel 214 - and none of the TV channels were FTA - BBC2NI didn't appear until a month after BBC1NI).

    Anyhow, I recall that every second programme was unscrambled for Irish viewers looking at BBC1NI through the Other Channels menu.

    Now, the big question is..... Is it ITV1? Is this the channel that will be showing the Chelsea game next week? :(

    M&M is getting a facelift by ITV prior to launch on DTT. They are not going to rename it ITV4 yet (if at all).


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,743 ✭✭✭kleefarr


    It's gone! Now M&M :(

    But is it still FTA ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 484 ✭✭DigiDec


    It was never FTA, you needed a ROI subs card to view it, it didn't even work on a UK FTV card.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,417 ✭✭✭✭watty


    I presume an active ROI sub rather than a cancelled one.

    Is a cancelled ROI card good for anything other than renewing an ROI sub?

    By my rekoning you get less chhannels on a cancelled ROI card than on Digibox that has never had an Irish card!


  • Registered Users Posts: 484 ✭✭DigiDec


    It would have to be an active card, and yes if you have a digibox that never had any sort of card in it you would receive the UK EPG as default, eg BBC1 London, BBC2 England, BBC3, BBC4 etc.

    The label is 10165.
    Label has now changed to Men & Motors.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 419 ✭✭chorus techy


    Supposedly this new stream will be the "new" M&M channel, and ITV 4 is to take over the existing "Men & Motors" channel / stream. ITV4 is not set to replace M&M, although we might have to wait until ITV5 to see if it'll stay permanently! :p

    ITV 1 Tyne Tees/London FTA?


    Please help.I see in a previous post two weeks ago that ITV could be viewed on Irish Digibox by adding channel on Frequency:-10891,Polarization SR:-22000 FEC:- 5/6.

    I tryed this but it isn't even one of channels that you can add.
    There are other ITV Channels(e.g)ITV Yorkshire,but this gives you message no signal.

    Is this not option anymore and its not possable to get ITV anymore?.

    Someone else suggested Frequency 10.165 but it doesnt even allow me to enter this it gives message that it is out of frequency,or is there another way of entering this.


    I would appreciate if someone sheds light on situation pleassssssssssssee.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,680 ✭✭✭Skyuser


    It was never going to be a permanent thing anyway. I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.
