[QUOTE="Shaun, post: 13547, member: 175390"] The following URL indicates that there are 3 ITV2 channels on Astra 28.2E, 2 of which appear to be free to view: [URL]http://www.lyngsat.com/dig/skyuk.shtml[/URL]. When I scan the appropriate transponder, I can only see the encrypted ITV2. Looking at the URL, it seems the different ITV2 channels have different PID values. One of the free to view channels has a VPID setting of 2325 and an APID setting of 2326E, while the other channel has a VPID setting of 2329 and a APID setting of 2330E. What does all of this mean?
