Unable to access BBC and ITV channels on freesat box
Help! Just realised that we're not going to be able to watch the Coronation as all HD channels (apart from Channel 5) appear to be blocked. Any help much appreciated

I take you've done a rescan?
What size, dish do you have.
Lots in the same boat since the recent changes.
Time for a Firestick maybe?

You can buy an Android box from Amazon Es. Around 36 euros and more. Then get a supplier to give you instructions if how to load tv channels to it. All UK channels plus more. Series and movies.

Coronation will be on many channel, not just BBC and ITV (but not on C4 or Five which are showing alternate programming). Sky News on 202 will be showing it...and maybe one or two other new channels as will. I think GBNews HD will be showing it.
And you should still have access to ITV1 in SD on Freesat 111.
And you can scan in the BBC SD channels into your box in "non freesat mode".
But your lack of BBC and ITV HD channels will be down to the fact that either your dish is too small for where you are, or you are using a poor make of dish, or your dish is warped out of shape, or your dish is out of alignment, or your LNB is a poor make, or not aligned correctly.

You can always take the firestick with you when you leave. Also take it on holiday with you if you go away.
