ITV2 HD (and 3 & 4) on Sky

[surfymark]

So a few weeks ago, I asked Sky to downgrade my subscription to save some money. We mainly only watch the terrestrial channels anyway but like the recording facility.

I negotiated that I would just get the basic channels and remove the HD (I have an HD box) for about £15/month. The guy told me at the time I would still get BBC HD, ITV HD etc.

Last night I went to watch the African Cup of Nations on ITV4 HD and noticed that I can no longer receive this.

I can BBC One HD, Channel 4 HD, Channel 5 HD, ITV HD, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4 but I cannot get ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD or ITV 4 HD.

I can't really see why I can't get these. Are they not free to air like this others? I also have a Freesat HD box in the other room that can receive all of these fine and I have checked and they are all on Freeview according to the internet.

Should I complain to Sky about it?

cheers

Freeview is not Freesat, but I can't see those HD channels listed on either. Their own sites and Wikipedia say the same.

I have a HD Sky box and cancelled my HD subscription.

You only get BBC 1 HD, BBC HD, ITV HD, CH 4 HD, and CH 5 HD, on the "free" channels, that's it.

No E4, No ITV 2,3 or 4, no Dave HD.

You've just got to live with it if you want to save that 120 quid a year.
