Hi there, yesterday I fitted up my Bush SD freesat box in hte spare bedroom so I could watch the FA cup ManU game, I first installed a London post code and ITV 1 wasn't there along with ITV 4 but the ITV 1 plus channel was there, so I installed a YORK postcode and everything tuned in, how could this come about?

    Could it be htat your dish in not aligned properly, so maybe you are missing certain channels on a certain frequency, which may just happen to be the London ITV frequency, i am sure others will know other channels to try that share it's transponder.

    I've no problems with the TV down stairs, this is linked to the same dish.

    Linked how? By a separate cable from the LNB, or did you split the existing cable? If you split the cable it won't work properly, and you'll have problems like missing channels.

    Have you not thought about swapping the boxes around then to see whether the problem is a faulty box or a faulty cable/connection?
