they will get their own back in wolfsburg. manu were luck..... again :huh:

I'm not a fan of Man Utd or Wolfsburg.
What I do need is for Sky to update their Samsung Sky+ HD boxes to the new EPG so I can tune into ITV's HD service.

how would you do that?  i thought you could only get itv hd on freesat.  is there a way of getting it on sky then?

Yeah you need thew new EPG mate, if you have it and need the instructions on how to tune in the channel lemme know.

The EPG is the program guide that you use to flick through the channels etc. the new one looks a lot diff from the only one and has a little tv preview of the channel at the top right hand corner. Simplest way of saying this is that if you dont have a little tv preview when your flicking through the channels then you dont have it yet. Sky are targeting the update by the manufacturer of the HD boxes, if you dont have it yet you will soon-ish. You wont know its happening either, you'll just wake up one morning and voilla.  :grin:

To get ITV HD on Sky, do this...

Search for other channels and put in these details
Frequency - 11.427
Pol - H
SR - 27.5
FEC - 2/3

Channel will save as 10510.

Yep all Champ League footie in HD  :cool:

Also, almost forgot. When its added all you do to launch it is goto other channels (I think its called that, cant remember off the top of my head) then you put in your PIN number and all you will see listed is that single channel on its own, all you will see is 10510.
