SKY box as FTA Receiver

When I say the English EPG I mean BBC1 is on 101 and so on. Also all the ITVs are available unlike the Irish EPG.

I have tried it with and without the sky cards and it makes no difference, I have tried unplugging the telephone line from the back of the box and unplugging the box for a few hours and still nothing. The other box still works fine with no card in it so I'm not sure what the problem is. Does anyone know any way to get the FTA channels back working?

Are you using Irish cards in the box? this will prevent you from accessing UK epg

this post will help get it back.

put the card in upside down and reboot the box. and you dont need the telephone line plugged in so unplug it.
