Hi there

I have a normal Sky digital box and a new Sky card with the full package,
plus a spare dish to allow me to use the kit in a caravan.

At home I get all the channels fine, but over the weekend I was in a caravan
in Gloucestershire and was unable to get any of the BBC channels (1,2, 3,4
or News24) or ITV/ITV2. Every other channel was perfect and the signal
strength look fine. I tried adjusting the dish quite a bit but could not get
the channels!

Any suggestions?

This is a FAQ.

All the channels you mention have one thing in common - all on Astra 2D. So
it is a dish alignment problem.

I did suspect that but since I had managed to get good signals on the rest,
I assumed I was pretty near correct for alignment - moving left/right and
up/down didn't help at all. Guess hand alignment for these channels is a
little trickier that the rest.

It's more likely to be the 22KHz switching problem, see the FAQ.

if you have no card in the box it some times wont work on bbc progs unless you
input the channels into the add channels section

This should change on July 29.
