ITV1HD and 2HD not available?

dubguy45

I'm not receiving ITV1HD or ITV2HD anymore on my Solo2.
Has something happened to these or have I a local issue?
Thanks.

I had to rescan the other day. I changed the FEC to 1/2 and it works now.

Thank you. Will give that a go.

We lost ITV HD about 4 days ago on our sky box and have tried every ITV HD region thats posted on lyngsat and just get a blue screen with a message mini tv not available.

ITV made some subtle changes to their HD TPs.
London, Meridian, Central HD on 11097 V 23000 3/4 8psk
Wales and Granada HD also ITV2 and 4 HD 11053 H 23000 3/4 8psk

I thought they had encrypted the ITV 2-4 and Encore HD channels?

AFAIK you need a HD sub. OP only lost them the other day so presumably has a sub.

I am using the new settings but the channels are still blank on my Sky Box

I've got a HD sub but they're still gone even with the change in settings.

got ITV HD back but ITV2-4 in HD no longer works with a HD sub in Ireland. That changed the morning after UTV NI and UTV Ireland was sold to ITV

That's the FEC changes I mentioned in post 5 above.

I did see your post alright but given that there were some people still unclear why they had lost their respective ITV1HD and ITV2HD signals despite your helpful previous post, I felt this article including the original source might be of assistance to them.

Yeah, ITV 2-4 HD and ITV Encore HD are now encrypted and have been for a no. of weeks/months now.

itv Encore has always been encrypted on digital satellite platforms and is only offered to Sky subscribers with a valid UK viewing card. If you try to manually input the satellite frequency parameters for itv Encore thru the "Other Channels" menu on a Sky Digibox here in the Republic of Ireland, you will probably get an on-screen message stating:
"Programme is not available"

The reason this particular itv channel is encrypted is because it is intended as a pay channel from itv as part of an exclusive carriage agreement between Sky Television UK and itv at the time and they never made it available to Sky Ireland subscribers even as part of a Sky package here to my knowledge to date. UK tv viewers of Freesat, Freeview and other platforms cannot access itv Encore either as exclusive to Sky Digital UK subscribers only.

I was able to get ITV Encore HD until they made it and ITV 2-4 HD no longer FTA. Those channels are now encrypted with the "this programme is not available" error 8 message. I have a RoI viewing card too.

They were never FTA. For some reason unknown to anyone they were included viewable for a time on Irish HD subscriptions.
