Default ITV HD Channels

can anyone please confirm that these channels are actually broadcasting? According to Digiguide they are, but my receiver is getting the BBC HD channels ok, but am getting no signal on the ITV ones, or even Chan 4.
Even though most are using Videoguard, I should still get a signal. Have set them all up as per King Of Sat info, but nowt, nada.

Are you sure you are selecting the correct DVB details e.g DVB-S/DVB-S2 etc.
Are you selecting PILOT on or off.
You don't say which receiver you have,so more specific help can be given.
They are all broadcasting.
When you mention Channel 4,are you refering to the standard defintion or high definition version?

thanks for the reply, got it sorted now, mixing up my S & S2's didn't help much in the grand scheme of things. Even after triple checking the details too.
old age I Guess <sigh>

Any idea if and when the rest of the ITV HD's & CH4 HD are going FTA?

ITV2/3/4 HD,won't be going FTA,in the near future ,as it was announced prior to launch they would be encrypted channels.
Unless things change,further down the line.
CH4 HD,is unlikely to go FTA,as well.
