ITV regions and Sky Digiboxes

ITV have introduced more of their regional output onto ASTRA2. Your digibox will automatically retune to the ITV region of the address where your card is registered when it becomes available.

However, if your card is registered in another region to the one you want, or you would just like to view a different region you can add extra channels to your Sky Digibox by following the instructions below.

This only applies to ITV1 as ITV2 and ITV3 do not transmit regional programs.

Use the down arrow to move to the H / V setting. Use the left / right arrows to set the correct polarity.
Dont alter the Symbol Rate and FEC unless you know you have to. (For most channels you won't have to).
Scroll down to the Find Channels option, and press "Select"
Choose your channel(s), scroll down to each one you want, and press the Yellow button.

Press "Sky" to get back to the main tv channels (or "Backup" if you want to add more channels).

To watch the channels you have added:
Press "Services", 6 (Other Channels), then scroll up and down the list until you find the one you want, then press "Select" to watch or listen.

To get back to the main tv channels at any point, press "Sky"
