Sky Italia channels disappearing.

[brutaleA]

Since the update Ive not had the number flash up once

In saying that as I said I rarely watch EPL.

Will keep monitoring it but at the moment it looks like the update solved it. I am a bit miffed though that an official card would lose the channels like that.

HA! sods law, all channels gone - didnt noticed the number showing as tv was off........)(-red

Okay brought it back by doing a manual reset of the box (switch off at mains). Least I dont have to constantly update.

We als have a wireless sender attached to the box to send the picture upstairs - Ive a sneaking suspiscion (hope) that thats whats playing havoc and am going to stop using it to see if its related to the problem.

I have also noticed that premiership games are now only available with Italian audio...

 

[Analoguesat]

Yup - according to numerous reports the English commentary has been removed in the last couple of weeks. Its pretty obvious why.

 

[Burnham Beech]

Ѕky only seem to have a problem with Ѕky Italia, English commentary is still available on Ѕky Germany.

I suppose the issue is that Ѕky Italia show a couple more English Premier League matches each week than Ѕky Germany and is therefore more popular with corrupt pubs in the UK.

Is it just the specific channels that go or the entire SKY Italia suite?

Im guessing a few posters here have unofficial cards and boxes?

-Im trying to figure out whether Im losing my channels based on a blitz related to EPL watching - Id like to think since Ive got an official card Id be exempt from this.....:mad:

Which unofficial cards are these?

The fact you are in Glasgow makes it as "unofficial" as the other unspecified posters you refer to .................. As with BSkyB, it's not just how you came by it, but how and where you use it.

Point taken.

I was just making a distinction between those who perhaps scan for SKY Italia channels with Humax boxes.

I am fully aware its a grey area either way.

I just expected my setup to be more reliable...

 

[brutaleA]

Which unofficial cards are these?

Indeed, hence my question. Im not fully clued up on the alternative ways of getting SKY Italia.

Thanks for the reply dave1979, that confirms thats it not just my box being faulty. Sadly I was hoping SKY Italia would be long term for us. In fairness weve had it run fine for 4years so a good innings anyway.

When you say 'playing up', are you having the same issue as me - SKY channels disappearing completely?

Is it feasible or even possible that SKY Uk could send a signal to blitz SKY Italia cards?

Just trying to figure out how this is happening...

Thanks again for the reply dave1979.

That sounds exactly like what I have suffered with my SKY Italia system. I havent left the system alone for the channels to return - its an idea to try that next time. In my case I initially brought the channels back via an update but more recently I did like yourself; switching off at the mains. Its frustrating thats for sure but at least we can get the SKY Italia channels back! ... for now

And Yes similarly I was only left with the italian 'freeview' channels - RAI and Mediaset etc. when this wipe occurs.

Seems definitely linked to the football and in both our cases EPL games and similarly the English commentary is no longer an option which hints at their purge.

Thanks for confirming that I am not alone then with this issue!

Likewise mate. I also had it showing the EPL games on Saturday and the number flashed up around 15 times but no channels lost or cut out. Left it on Sky Sport 1 again all day, no issue.

Pleasing!
