    Hi,

    Can anyone tell me why I am unable to get sky pick? I'm in Northern Ireland and have freeview. I'm running mutant hd51 box.
    I've rescanned abm and rebooted the box, but no success.

    There is an icon on the info ribbon which I'm assuming means it is locked. However I've read that these games should be FTA.

    Can anyone tell me what is happening?

    Thanks.

    Why can't I view the channel?
    Is the football blocked? I thought it was FTA?

    What is the left most symbol on the top row. I can't find ingot on it? I'm pertaining it means the channel is scrambled?

    They switched the football to sky one anyway. Sorry didn’t see this in time but for future reference

    Sky doing a sly one again, it is only on Pick HD which is not available on freeview afaik in Ireland. It is on freesat though in Ireland.

    Pick on 12363V isn't scrambled.

    You mustn't have the full Freeview service, or you'd get it there?

    The snooker on ITV 4 would have been a better game :)
