sky channel5 is fine with HD box dunno about standard tv coz i got sky+ in bedroom
Dunno if this is the same problem or not but worth a look

The good old SIPSI problem.

You need to phone channel five and report the probelm.

Aparantly you just call five's customer service phone number 08457 050505 or 020 7421 7270 and tell them that there is a SIPSI probelm (Service Insertion Point for Service Information) and they fix it. Tell them also what transmitter you receive your signal from.

Since you did a re scan while this fault was present, you will need to re scan again to get the channels back once they have fixed it.

It would be really really helpfull if this thread could be made sticky as this crops up again and again.

I was going to post exactly the same comment, but as he was 'the gaffer' I decided not to.

Have you got your new Sky viewing card yet ? Could be the cause of your problem if you haven't.
