Phone Sky and explain to them about Irish channels and get a clearance signal sent to your box
I take it that your box is not connected to a phone

Yes it happened to me (I didn't have a phone line either).

It literally took them less then 30 seconds to turn them on over the phone.

Ive had it happen to me on many occasions...its as simple as giving sky a ring and getting them to resend down the proper signals if you do not have a phone line...if you have a phone line...the new installation option in the installers menu will sort that out no bother.
