    I just bought a combi box and tuned it in.It is connected to both the sky box and seperate ariel in the attic.When i do a channel scan it finds hundreds of the sky channels most of which have a lock symbol beside them.The problem is the saorview channels also have this signal.I have checked the ariel in another tv and its fine.
    Any ideas would b much appreciated

    Which combi receiver is it?
    Is there an option to do separate satellite and terrestrial scans?

    Those aren't the Saorview channels, they're the encrypted satellite versions that are only available with a Sky subscription.

    They're not completely useless: if you use teletext, it will work on them & might be the only way your box can access Aertel.

    Is it an Arriva 250 by any chance? I had one recently and the terrestrial tuner didnt work

    or as already said you might have to do a separate Terrestrial scan
