Unable to view ITV2

[StephenB76]

For some reason I am unable to view ITV2 sky channel 118. This is the only channel that I cant view, and obviously I can't record from this channel either. I have followed on screen instructions about re booting the sky q box but to no avail. 

Any advice would be much appreciated.

@StephenB76 

Are you seeing any error message on screen when you try to watch 118? Are you able to watch ITV2+1 on 218, or ITV2 in SD on (I think) 816?

@Daniel0210 @Thanks for the response. I've just checked and bothe channel 816 and 218 are working fine, it seems like it is just 118 I have a problem with

The error message showing on screen when I put 118 on says "this channel is currently affected with your satellite signal. For help press ?"

You will need an engineer visit to check the dish even if it's only ITV2 HD that is affected.

The only other channels broadcast on the same frequency are a few ITV1 HD regions (Granada, Wales, Tyne Tees, Westcountry) so if you're not in those regions only ITV2 HD will be affected.

If it displays no satellite signal take a look at the troubleshooting here

It may then give you the opportunity to arrange an engineer to check the alignment of your dish. Just to make you aware, if you’re on a communal dish system in the UK you’ll have to contact your landlord or building management company rather than Sky.

Exactly same issue itv2 constantly buffering and jittery. But 816 and 218 are fine. But ITVX also not

Playing properly. Thanks for heads up on other channel numbers.

How To Add ITV To Sky In Ireland For Euro 2024

By Marty -14th June 2024

adding itv to sky box in ireland

It’s time for another big summer of football. If there’s a game on ITV you’re looking forward to or you’ve just had enough of Didi Hamann or Kevin Doyle (sorry lads, I actually quite like you, honest), you can tune their channels in on your Sky Box. We’ve got you covered with this simple guide to adding ITV to Sky.

How To Add ITV To Sky

ITV doesn’t come preloaded on your Sky box. However, you can manually add TV channels in settings once you know the configuration. Here’s how you do this.

Turn on your Sky box

Press “Services” on your Sky remote

Select “Options” from the menu.

Scroll sideways to the “Add channel” tab and enter these settings:

Frequency: 10.891

Polarisation: H

Symbol Rate: 22.0

FEC: 5/6

Standard: DVB-S

Modulation Scheme: QPSK

Once all of these are set, press the yellow button to find channels

Once the search completes, you’ll see loads of “ITV” options.

Highlight one and press the yellow button

Press the green button to save your settings

Finally, press the “Select” button.

How To Watch ITV On Sky

Now that you’ve added ITV to your Sky box, it’s time to tune into the football. Unfortunately, adding a channel manually doesn’t assign it a channel number. This means the only way to access ITV is through the Sky menus. Here’s how.

Press “Services” on your Sky remote

Choose “Options” from the menu

Scroll sideways to the “Other channels” tab

Highlight “ITV” and press the “Select” button on your Sky remote.

This has worked for me  now
