Finding STV on Sky

Postby Mary G » Thu Dec 27, 2012 3:24 pm

Recently, we think since the Ulster region went digital and all channels were updated, my mother cannot get STV on her Sky box. She lives in Southend where, for years, TV has been typically received from the Divis transmitter in Northern Ireland.

Maybe there is no link between the two events, but it is one possibility. Oddly, the 103 channel where STV should be is broadcasting an English regional ITV channel ...

Has anyone - probably in Southend - found solutions to similar problems? Her Sky box was purchased and installed around ten years ago without any packages. So we've not got a contract with Sky to get their help to find a fix.

All ideas and help much appreciated.

Might be worth telephoning Sky to ask if they know the reason.Worth the cost of a call at least.

Thanks for these comments. I might try Sky - even though we have no contract since the box was bought outright - and there are no channels/ services provided by them.

Will look at 973 ...

Should get the answer in here somewhere.

I tried it, only difference is when they tell you to go to services then add channel, in mine i had to go to services - system setup - add channels. maybe yours will be different.

Try adding channels and that will tell you if your box can pick it up or not. It should do.

You can get ITV HD this way too since you can't get STV in HD.
