James2 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Hi ab,I have the same card, it seems that if the card is used in England there is no ITV channels at all. However, I used the card in France ( only temporary testing ) and managed to receive all channels, including the ITV channels.I contacted Sky and they confirmed the ITV channels are no longer available on this £28.50 card ( which I thought was a bit off ) they then suggested I bought their basic package!

Mazan Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 >it said insert your sky viewing card Either you have put the card in the wrong slot or you have put it in the wrong way around or the card reader in the box is broken.It has nothing to do with the card as such and ALL cards with the yellow house symbol still work perfectly.
