    I am using a freesat box, and found "PICK", but it appears to be blank. Also found PICK+1 and that had a signal.

    Looking to watch the football on it this evening.

    I believe it is listed as
    Pick TV 11914 H 27500

    Does it work for anyone? I found this blank PICK on Astra 3A/3B 12070 H 27500 DVB-S

    Also, found another blank channel "PICK FSAT" on Astra 2 12207 V 27500 DVB-S

    On Freesat TVs and boxes, Pick is on channels 144, 145 and 147 with the Premier League games on 147 (HD) only

    No signal found using....

    Pick UK HD with Football
    Free-to-air
    Astra 28.2E UK Spotbeam
    Frequency 12363
    Polarisation Vertical
    Symbol Rate 27500
    FEC 2/3
    Mode DVB-S2 QSPK
    Service ID 5829 Pick (HD)

    I have a reasonably good signal so just wondering why my Sky Hd box is not picking this up?

    try 8psk. I have it on a fta box along with epg so its there but with an irish card you may have to reboot box, ie it may look as if it is not there and will re-appear after a reboot. Check the main epg as well as it may be added.

    Thanks, scanned again using 8PSK and got a bouquet of HD channels and one labelled pick. I would imagine this is PICK HD and will be showing the footie.
    Incidentally I have another Sky HD box with UK tv guide (FTV card) and Football is listed on EPG as against Road Wars on Irish EPG.
    Rebooted box with Irish EPG but still showing Road Wars tomorrow at 7pm.
    Thanks

    The Irish EPG version of Pick won't have any football on it.

    For those using enigma 2 boxes , openvix , openatv , etc with ABM , your regional settings in ABM will determine if you get the PICK HD channel with the football , you need to set it to some UK region , as the regional variation for Ireland does not carry the football.

    I'm now set to london , so the PICK HD that shows up in my bouquets is the football variation.
