I live in an area of Herts which can be serviced by both Crystal Palace and Sandy Heath.
I choose to use CP.
When setting this new BT Youview box up I cannot get ITV player to work for ITV 1
[ CH003 ] programmes , but I can for ITV2 etc.

If however I choose SH, I can get the ITV player to work for ITV1 [ CH003].

Why ?

My Ariel is pointed at CP and SH is diametrically opposite , so I get the signal off of the back of my Ariel. I do not get such a strong signal.
Any ideas how I can fool the box in to letting me still use CP and the ITV player ?

Many Thanks

well seeing that ITV1 and ITV2 are broadcast via the same multiplex it shouldn't be a problem. i would recommend updating via settings your on demand players.

when i had a similar problem this sorted it, both my itv player and 4od nether recieved the updates. before.

I reset the box back to manufacturers settings and started all over again.

This time I put in the post code of my Mum who lives further south into the CP transmitter ariel.

Two things happened as a result.

Firstly the ITV player started working for the main ITV 1 channel [ 003]
And I got an extra update for the ITV player, 4OD player and some welsh Channel 4 player none of which I got yesterday when I used my actual postcode

Interesting !!!!!!

All working now happy bunny
