Hello
Just a quick query.
my local itv region seems to be no longer fta. checking on the other regions most are fta, but a couple are not.
Have i got a glitch or will they all go?
i am using a technomate 6900

I have checked on the kingofsat page

_http://en.kingofsat.net/pos-28.2e.php

and some itv regions are locked with videoguard (sky encryption)

i hope i will not lose itv, but i am not hopeful.
can anyone shed some light on this
cheers

They have been moved off Astra 2D which has a spot beam onto the UK. I think its now on Astra 2C. It has been encrypted to stop people outside the 2D footprint from viewing it

Its probably only a temporary thing as far as i am aware

The ones that moved onto astra 2C have started moving back onto astra 2D 10891H fta.

A channel switch around. The channels had to go somewhere during the switch...

Time for a full channel scan at 28E then.

Probably not needed - its only involved half a dozen of the ITV channels....

Yeah my ITV Yorks East disappeared, been tuning into Granada instead. Hope it comes back soon!!

Does that mean all these new freesat boxes can not get it either, I find this incredable, giving it to Murdoch on a plate.

Bob,
