        the card has a postcode on it to set the region of the box, so with no card it will default to london

        you can add the other itv channels in the other channels section of the menu but it wont default onto 103 without a postcoded card for your region

            see if the box opens pick tv with the white card in

            if it does its working and the postcode on that card should still be set for your area and default the box to your local channels

            if it doesnt you will have to add the local channels yourself in "other channels"

                  a quick reboot of the box is a common resolve to a lot
