Adding London TV on Q - does it work?

ozsat — Mon, 04 May 2026 09:51:23 GMT

So I'm trying to add London TV in the add channels option of SkyQ - it is working on my older SkyHD box.

Is anyone finding the channel is not apearing in the list when trying to add?

It works for me on Sky Q (outside London). Do you already have it stored in your other channels list, possibly under the previous name London Live? If so it won't show in channel scans until you delete it.

Cheers - that is what I thought but didn't want to remove to old name 'London Live' just in case it wasn't adding back.

The old name 'London Live' sometimes changes to 'London TV' but goes back to 'London Live' later.

btw: does your picture on London TV break-up via Sky?

I have not watched for long but no break up for me (NW England)

Checking that transponder on my multisat receiver, it is a slightly weaker transponder

When I was briefly watching it earlier I noticed it kept going blank for a few seconds. It seems to be an issue at London TV's end as other channels on the same transponder aren't affected.

Yes -that's what I've found - and some picture break-up at times but only part screen. No pattern to the occurance.

Freely TV feed is OK so I guess it is just on Sky.

Works for me (with QPSK, I assume it was a typo).

And to answer your question on another thread - yes, I'm getting some pixellation. About once a minute, ish. 5/6 is pushing the error correction in the direction of "not very robust", but I suspect that isn't the root cause.

HTH!
