Question Just had Sky+installed...

...but no ITV1, C4 or Channel 5. All it says is 'This channel unavailable'. Never had any problems with the freeview box and all other channels are spot-on.

Any ideas?

Cheers in advance.

The cynic inside me says, with the possible exception of C4, I doubt you'd be missing much

Ta all.

Spoke to a bloke on the phone who sounded like he was from 'Glasgae' - said something about a giggling pin and a foo-foo valve and everything would be fine in the morning...

Cheers

We managed to wangle a house move AND an upgrade to Sky+ for free when we moved a year ago... all thanks to my wife hurling abuse down the phone to Sky customer service when they cocked up and sent an upgrade guy out rather than a house move.... nice
