Saorview scrambled

pcasso

I have had a recent issue with the saorview channels coming up as scrambled.
At first I assumed that this was a temporary outage and it would rectify itself in time. However it has been like this for a few weeks now.
all the freesat channels are as per normal.
I tried a retune but while it seemed to recognise all the saorview tv and radio chanels they still appear as scrambled.
I am in the Carlingford, Co Louth area and have a Fergueson ariva 153 combo box.
Any advise appreciate as google searches ain't coming up with anything

Saorview is received by terrestrial aerial and is unencrypted. If you are seeing scrambled you are looking at the Irish channels from satellite where they are paid channels on Sky and are encrypted

So how come it has changed recently and I am only seeing the scrambled message now.
I have been watching both Saoirview and Freesat channels without issue for the last five years.

As was mentioned already, if you're seeing a scrambled/encrypted message, what you're tuned into are the satellite broadcasts from 28.2 east, which are part of Sky's Irish lineup.

Nothing's changed, unless your receiver has put them in place of the Saorview versions, for whatever reason.

Unless somehow you were picking up Saorsat

Saorsat has nothing to do with anything here.

I think saorview changed frequency in the last few weeks. You might have to retune in the channels.

There are a lot of topics getting crossed over here.

Saorview is Irish channels received on an aerial unencrypted.

Freesat is the free channels on the sky satellite 28.2e (At least as far as most people are concerned) the Irish channels Encrypted here.

Saorsat is the Irish channels on a completely different satellite.(9e) You can't get these with a regular dish setup and definitely not by accident but they are unencrypted.

Op nothing has changed in this area in a million years

You may need to do a terrestrial rescan, someone with the same box will have to advise

I appreciate all your responses but unfortunately something has changed in that up to a few weeks ago I could watch RTE, Virgin etc and now they are scrambled.
I didn't do anything so something, somewhere has to have changed

It appears that all of what I have called saorview channels have simply moved or are replicated at a different number/place in the arriva box list and where the once were at numbers 1-9 are showing as scrambled.
I will have to figure out how to move them into the desired location and peace should be restored
Thanks for all the responses.

Some of the Saorview transmitters, including Clermont Carn & Greenore, are changing frequencies, to clear the 700 MHz band for the mobile providers.

They new frequencies were switched on Sept. 4th, but they're running the old alongside until March.
