A technical fault is causing problems with viewing some channels across all digital platforms, it was reported this afternoon in the Digital Spy forums.

Currently, all MTV channels, along with Paramount, Sci-Fi and Nick Jr. were producing the error message 'No satellite signal is being received' on Sky Digital, and the channels were also unavailable on digital cable. Nickelodeon and Nick Replay were not affected.

It emerged that all affected channels were on transponder 10, 11.895V.

Service was resumed shortly before 16:30 BST.
