How to get Channel 5 and BBC One HD on your Irish EPG and Recordable!!

You still have to add them to other channels to match the region of the card you are using.

Thanks for the instructions.

So it's not necessary to do the add channels thing as we did before the updated EPG?

Sorry forgot the add other channels bit. Have the correct regional variations for your card in other channels first. You'll only have to do the other channels and ticking the favourites once.

It seems to work better if you add the other channels with the UK card, and the favourites with the Irish card. I had noticed the blue button only has to be pressed once rather than twice, as some channels are doubled up, ie 105.

I don't think it matters which card is being used when you add the other channels. I found with my box that adding the favourites when on the uk card eliminated the double pressing of the blue button.

Hi anybody have a solution, I have the new Sky Epg. I can record watch and pause using the blue button for the other channels but for some reason ITV1HD doesn't seem to appear. I have a Yorkshire Sky deactivated white sky card. The London ITV1HD channel wont add.

Itv1 HD is only transmitted in certain regions. It won't work for me if I use my NI ftv card but works perfectly using my old London blue card.

I think ITV1 HD Granada is the ITV1 HD region which is on Yorkshire cards.

Thanks guys for your help. It seems i can't tune in ITV1HD Granada on sky hd box since they changed Symbol rate from 22.0 to 23.0.

Before when I done the card trick with the old epg I used a NI card to get UTV etc on the epg. Then I used to put in a Scottish ftv card to get BBC Scotland on to ch 101. Just wondering if I add BBC Scotland to other channels and to favorites will it work. What I mean is can you use two different region cards with the blue button method.

You should get BBC Scotland on the main EPG on channel 951 if you use a NI card if you have BBC Scotland stored in other channels anyway without using the blue button method

I also have the extra channels on the EPG with a Granada region card.

I thought you were on the blue button muffler or is that a different box.

Who else is still on the old EPG?

My box is a Pace, 9F3004

Same box but was never updated.

I note that the red button works on C4HD (via the blue button), unlike the red button on the extra BBC channels

I just tried this spawker, I put BBC Scotland in to the other channels and redid the card trick but 951 but it still comes up as unavailable.

What do you mean it is unavailable?
When you put in the Ni card,have a look at the channels BBC1 Scotland will be on 951 this should then come across to the main EPG when you then put back in your main sub card as you have it stored in other channels.

pbarr

No when I type 951 Channel unavailable comes up and its not on the EPG.
I wonder would this have worked before the update.

I have it on 951 but the box hasn't been updated though

pbarr

Before the update I was able to put it on 101 along with RTE1 by just inserting the Scottish card after doing the trick with the NI and before putting back in my sub card. Doesn't work now.

When you do the card trick now do you get UTV and channel 5 on your EPG ?

No I used to be able to before the update, have to use the blue button now.

Whats the version No of your box because boxes with certain version Nos wont let you do the card trick even with a Ni card.

Not sure about that one mine is 4f3106 and my mothers is 4d31d4 and the card trick works on both of them, have a look back through the thread there are a few posts regarding which version Nos work and which dont.

pbarr

Thanks, I will. I have them on the blue button for recording better than nothing. I might try setting BBC Scotland in the favourites and see how that goes although I think one cancels out the other.
