Title: ITV Gone?
Post by: saoirse on May 30, 2012, 20:01:55 PM

Have all ITV regional channels finally been removed from access for us with 1.5 m dishes here in Turkey? Was able to get a choice of a few ITV regions until today ( used Anglia) but all now seem to have dissappeared.

Looks like it Saoirse - have tried all the frequencies and none are showing a signal - so ch4 will have to do.....

I spoke to a geeky friend about this and he believes that one of the satellites has been removed and the signals transferred to another and will be out of action for a few months.

I rang Murat today, he said it is a sattelite problem and not sure when it will come back on, maybe transfer to a new server will work

I am told that the signal "footprint" has gone covering Turkey, meaning that you must seek another way.:(

Some channels have moved to a different frequency on Astra 1N
Example those that were on 12402V (Astra 2B) are now on 10994H !Astra 1N) which has a very tight UK beam
ITV 1 Meridian North
ITV 1 Anglia West
ITV 1 Yorkshire East
ITV 1 Central South West
ITV 1 Yorkshire West+1

Check sites such as KOS and lyngs*t

Unless you have a 5 meter plus dish the beam for ITV will note be available here in Turkey now. Re the Euro 2012 and Olmpics you can pick it up on other channels like the BBC interactive ones or even on Hot bird BBC HD Poland which will be showing certain events live.
