    A small though. Someone else here might correct me on this, please do if this doen't work.

    1. Go into SKy News and press the red button, Sky Active should appear.
    2. Remove your viewing card, and place it back in the slot upside down.
    3. Press back up to get out of SKy Active.
    4. The EPG should revert to the standard EPG (prop London or something like that which will have ITV on it.
    5. Go into the channel you want to record.
    6. Remove your viewing card and put it back in the correct way up. I'm guessing ITV should stay on the screen as its FTA.
    7. With your card in the correct way, Sky+ functionality should return and you could still be in ITV from the EPG selection.

    Try it. I've never tried it before though.

    As soon as you put your Irish card in, then the EPG reverts to the Irish one. So no way to record the ITVs, BBC 3/4 etc:mad:

    You don't need to go thorugh the whole Sky News , red button etc. process to get the UK EPG, though. Just shutdown and power off the box, remove the card and re-boot. The UK EPG comes up by default with no card inserted.
