    When the online LED goes green, it means that the digibox is online and telling Sky what Box Office events you've used and how much you owe. The new EPG and other major downloads are done via satellite. No, neither my current or previous box went off by itself after 12 hours. Mine is on 24/7. Do you have new EPG as this is a wee bit buggy?

    You can't get [itv] in the other channels as it isn't being broadcast from Astra yet. Not even to the UK. Channels 4 and 5 are on Astra, but only watchable (legally) to UK viewers.

    i think what he means is the test channel called ITV, that is on 11.768(i think), along with TESTSERVICE and EPG BACKGROUND AUDIO. This mysterious channel has been there for years.

    I think it is there so that "ITV" can appear in the UK EPG. It does, you see, but only to have message - press TV and 3 (to get it on your analogue service).

    Sky Digi Online has since removed the picture as this was fake. Anyway, testing channels don't appear on EPG. Pity really frown.gif
    Wonder if we in ROI will receive UTV whenever it becomes available on Dsat?
    Off topic, I'm looking forward to the interactive Wimbledon tennis on BBC1 and BBC2 which lets you choose to watch 1 of 5 live matches or all 5 at once using a mosaic. Shall be interesting (even though I don't really follow the sport)
