Manual tuning channels on Sky Stream/Glass

[31SHP]

Recently upgraded to Sky Glass and another Tv with a PUCK, any idea how I manually tune channels like ITV that aren't standard in Ireland?

@31SHP  You simply can't "Tune channels in" your on a streaming platform and the channels provided are allocated based on your location.

In the republic of Iteland you get only the channels such as RTE, ITV don't stream outside the UK & Northern Ireland.  Stream is a different system to satellite.

Hi @31SHP 

It isn't possible, the channels are delivered by the internet and the isn't a satellite tuner in the box only a DTT tuner, however this is disabled in all territories except Italy.

To use the DTT tuner in Sky Glass TV disconnect the TV from the internet🙂

Sky Glass DTT Saorview tuner will not receive  ITV channels in Republic of Ireland using an tv aerial.

Virgin Media Channels has the broadcast rights for some but not all ITV content in Republic 

Customers in Republic of Ireland  might be able to pick up UK Freeview channels using a tv aerial if they are very close to the border with Northern Ireland.

To get arround ITV channels not on Sky Sky Glass/Sky Stream in Republic of Ireland

I use my Sky HD Satellite Box as a free to air satellite receiver to get UK channels like ITV etc 

You just need to make sure you have hybrib lnb on the satellite dish if you preiously has Sky Q installed

I have my SKY HD Box connected to my AV receiver that is then connected to HDMI 2 on Sky Glass

It will become active when there is no internet connection.
