No E4,Why???

[bex401]

I have a sky digi box,but am no longer subscribed to Sky.I can receive a wide variety of freeview channels including ITV3&4,BBC3&4,Sky3,but I do not get E4,yet it is available on set top boxes.Can anyone explain why???Thanks

I wouldn't worry too much, you are only missing Friends

E4 is a great channel!!
Maybe Bex you have to re-scan...have you tried this?
Are you getting more four?

[bex401]

Do'nt get More4 either.This may sound dumb,but how do I re-scan??Thanks

i think its more to do with your arial,i recieve 89 channels while my brother who lives only 1/4 mile away recieves just 42,

..you need to re-tune the box as there have been loads of channels swapping places in the last month or so... press menu on your remote, scroll down to "instalation", then "add new channel", then "automatic search"..and just let it get on with it, if it asks you at the end if you want to replace your existing channels click yes...

Hey there, just called Sky as I was about to cancel. Apparently E4 is encrypted through sky so you can only get if you pay for one of their packages. Not sure how they get away with this as E4 is supposed to be free.
