Chris: Is ITV4 completely missing or do you get an error message? Are you still receiving ITV3 SD, which is broadcast on the same ? There haven't been any recent changes to any ITV channels on satellite.

Gill Emeny : I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but when setting up a box (or built in to a TV) you are asked to enter your postcode and it will put the ITV for your area on 103.

Hi,
I noticed this week that Pick+1 has disappeared from my service and I can't find anything saying why.
Do you have any idea?

Thanks in advance

Lynn Simpson : (the owners of the Pick brand), have closed the Pick+1 and it is no longer broadcasting. The closure happened on the 31st March. I don't think Sky have said much about why they've closed it.

P Pierce: All 4 is a catchup/on demand service which is available as an app on various TV, boxes and sticks rather than a . It won't be on a +/HD box as those don't support apps. If you have Sky Q or Sky Glass it should be found under the Apps heading somewhere if it is available.
