Yeap. I said more or less the same in an earlier post.

There probably isn't much of an audience in NI, Scotland and Wales either but it doesn't stop STV/UTV/ITV Wales showing England matches.

STV do not show England games.
UTV will show the games as quite a lot of the Northern Ireland population like to see themselves linked with England.
Wales is ITV so presumably they show what the network is showing.

Are you sure about that? I could swear I seen the Denmark game on STV +1 during the week, maybe not though.

lertsnim

STV schedules shows something called Fu Long - Little Panda, Happy Dragon: Incredible Stories was on STV when ITV showed the England game

STV do not show the FA Cup either

I'm thinking of getting Sky service but like some of the programmes on both UTV / ITV. Can I still get these programmes using Sky basic bundle and I'm based in Greystones?

It will require you tune the channel to "other channels".... They won't be in the programme guide.

Though TV3, being a near clone of ITV will probably have some of the content anyway.

why pay sky to watch a FTA channel? get either a combo box or a freesat box and watch ITV, UTV and STV in HD for free!

Setanta had the ROI rights to some England games at one stage, but they were a hangover from when they had both UK & Ireland rights.

And I bet the viewing numbers was minuscule.

Has UTV HD and STV HD stopped working for anybody else too? 'There is a technical fault with this channel, please try again later.'

Both changed TP in the last wk or so. If you have the new Sky EPG R010 you can now add in DVB-S2 and 23K TPs

No, unfortunatly, they use Eircom's network to get their broadband service into your house

Old post but STV certainly screened the England Slovenia game on Saturday.

Even in England more people watched Pointless Celebrities than England v Slovenia !

Hi Guys,

I have an older type black HD sky box, but I don't have a sub. The old white card is still in it.

I was going to try and add the new ITV HD channels the other day, but my box don't have access to the new 23 and 29 TP settings.

How do I go about getting this on the box, or is it possible?

Does it just need to be updated? If so, how do I do this?

Thanks.

If its a Thomson box they are no longer supported and not getting any More software updates so you cannot add utv, if its not a Thomson box remove the the card and do a forced software update by unpluging the box and press and hold the select button on the top of the box.
Keep it pressed and return the power lead to the box after about 30secs a message will appear updating the software.

however if u have a Thomson box purchasing a an ftv card mite be a solution for you, this will have provide you with ITV HD on CH 178 ...there is a guy selling them on adverts.is for 5-7 euro which is a bargain and will give a couple of extra channels as well as the FTA channels. Simply search for free sat card on adverts

Fantastic stuff..

Thank you steveon. It's a Samsung box, so I'll do the forced update for now, but I'll also send off for one of those cards.

Thanks again.

Thanks again steveon.

Got that card in the post this morning.

Put it into the box, rebooted, and all up and running with the UK EPG.

Nice one. :cool:

Only found one small disadvantage.

I have a sub with Setanta/BT Sports, but find I can't use them on the UK card.

I'm told if I pair the card for Setanta, it'll go back to the Ireland EPG.

So, just got to switch cards when there is a match on.

Small price to pay.

Back in February this year 2014, I looked up here as I too lost SKY ITV HD, and got all the frequencies. They have gone again, does any one have the new ones? Please, Thanks

This might be of use if you have the new EPG

UTV HD seems to be gone now too. Any solutions to get an ITV (or similar) back in HD?

Just noticed UTV HD in my 'other channel' listing no longer works
