Sky..........Ch4 News - "Sorry, the current programme is not available in your area"

Anyone know why the Ch4 News at 7pm is occasionally not shown on the Sky platform, replaced by the message "not available in your area" Very annoying. Does anyone have an explanation? Happens me about once every month or so. All other programmes are fine on Ch4 after the 7pm news slot is done.

The news was on at 6pm instead tonight, they are showing England v Malta in football which they don't have rights to show in Ireland.

Add different Channel 4 region into your extra channels .I would go with Channel 4 London HD 11126 V 20000 5/6 QPSK .A lot of programs have territorial issues.
