What you describe is a specific sky issue. Ring them and they will sort

sky boxes essentially are designed for the uk , so when they are being used in the uk just to watch free to air channels they will have a default epg setting . this setting is
bbc1 101
bbc2 102
itv 103
ch4 104
ch5 105

and so on , if you put an irish sky subscription card into that box the epg changes , and will look like this
rte1 101
rte1 102
tv3 103
tg4 104
3e 105

it appears you are saying that you no longer have the uk channels as above but instead have rte /tv3 etc . this is easy to fix , press and hold in the backup button on the box (keep pressing it ) then unplug the box (keep pressing the backup button) then plug the box back in and then release the backup button . you may or may not see an update screen after that , this process can be used to update your box or to remove rte/ tv3 etc and set bbc1 at 101 and bbc2 at 102 and so on , the process takes a few minutes so be patient and have a cuppa and when the box is ready it will switch itself back on . if you ever want rte back on the box all you have to do is insert the card again .
