Hi, I recently hooked up my old sky satellite dish and sky+ HD box in my new home in order to watch regular freesat channels.
The trouble is i am not able to view some channels i thought were free-to-air...
e.g. i can view all the bbc chans incl BBC HD, all the news channels (except fox) and all the shopping/adult/ religious chans.

If i attempt to watch itv, chan 4, e4 etc.. i get an error saying the incorrect viewing card is being used (i have no viewing card inserted)

shouldn't these chans be available to view? can you clarify this for me please? is there a setting on the box i need to configure to allow it to view all the regular freesat chans?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Thanks for the quick reply Keith, all the info i've read indicates that itv1 is free-to-air now just like bbc1 etc.. nowhere does it mention that itv is restricted on freesat...or is it just restricted because i'm using a proprietary sky box? i'm in ROI by the way
