Will 5, 5* and 5USA be available on old Sky boxes without a viewing card as well as Freesat?

I retuned today and have regained Film 4 etc
but have now lost Sky News and Pick TV. All other channels are normal

Is ArqA really on full power now?

Mark Fletcher.
I cleared all channels as you suggested but on a manual scan Channel 60 has virtually no signal strength or quality.I think the problem must lie with my (rather elderly) aerial.

Thanks for your advice.

58 is definitely lower in strength and quality compared with the BBC and ITV channels so the aerial is clearly to blame.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Does a switchover in 2018 to DVB-T2 mean that existing non-hd freeview televisions, set-top boxes and recorders will become obsolete? This would not go down well with the public only 6 years after the completion of the digital switchover.

KMJ:I think a full switch to DVB-T2 would be politically unacceptable.Look at the furore over the plans to switch over to DAB radio.
Even a partial switch would involve losing a significant number of channels received currently and be unpopular.

The list of Freeview transmitter changes 2017-20 Upcoming Freeview transmitter changes 2017 to 2019 states that PSB1, 2, and 3 will remain on their current channels after next year. The table above indicates that they will move. Which is correct?
