Switch from Astra to Eurobird or vice versa on the screen where you scan?

If you have an old setting for Food Channel delete it first. Sometimes boxes ignore new settings thinking they already have it.

Really about time for them. The US parent channel has been HD for well over a decade. They were one of the last UK channels to go widescreen too - as recently as 2014!

Yeah you often get the impression they couldn't give a damn about Europe and were dragged along to the party under duress.

They don’t - the channel has died a death by a thousand cuts since NBC took full ownership in 2006.

BBC One Scotland HD has somehow appeared on Freesat (London) EPG at channel 108 I think. Not sure why that was required.

Talking of new channels, does anyone know what's the link between Eir Sports and "Free Sports" and "Premier Sports"?

Eir seem to share some branding with Free Sports but they are still listed seperately on Sky.

It's a stock market channel. Stock market is closed at the weekend so they show other stuff, including golf.

Eir seem to share some branding with Free Sports but they are still listed seperately on Sky.

Eir Sports were once Setanta Sports before being bought out by eir. Setanta also existed in the uk. It is now a separate entity in the uk and is known as Premier Sports. Freesports is its free to air sports channel where it puts some of its content - usually low appeal stuff - to advertise its pay per view content.

Eir and Premier still seem to share some costs like satellite carriage costs. Their channels sometimes have the same satellite feed but with their own logo in the top right corner of the screen.

That is my knowledge of it anyway. Someone wil correct me if not right.

Anyone know how to tune in S4C HD on Sky? I turned it in ages ago but I was trying to get English commentary on it today and now it has disappeared. I can’t seem to be able to tune it back in.

Thanks but it’s not coming up for me. I can get S4C SD using a different frequency but not the HD one.

It’s odd as I didn’t remove the channel it just seemed to disappear for me.
