Do you have a Sky+HD box or an older standard definition Sky box?

If you read my FAQ then that says the some SD channels sometime in August 2024 will not be accessible unless you have a HD box

 

Have you tried turning OFF your HD box at the mains for at least 5 minutes?

 

Performing a software update of the HD box can sometimes force the channel list to refresh
