    Tuning in extra BBC & ITV channels (and other info)

    The BBC went free-to-air on the 10th of July 2003 and ITV on 1st of November 2005, so here's a handy thread for anyone who wants to add the free channels but doesn't know how.

    We'll begin with the frequency (10773H 22000 5/6) that BBC3 and BBC4 are broadcast on, and you can repeat the process using the frequency table below to add the other channels of your choice (ie ITV1, ITV2 BBC Radio etc.)


    To add channels to your "Other Channels" option, do the following -

    With your digibox turned on, press the "Services" button (near the top of the remote).

    Select number 4 (System Setup), and then 4 again ("Add Channels").

    In the appropriate fields enter the following (you move through the fields using the up and down arrow keys).


    In the Frequency field enter: 10.773,

    The next three fields are toggle fields, i.e. using the left and right arrows will change the value.

    Toggle Polarisation to : H
    Toggle Symbol Rate to: 22000
    Toggle FEC to : 5/6

    Then select the last button - Find Channels.

    After a few seconds the channels should appear. The channels on this frequency should be - BBC One London, BBC Two England, BBC News 24, BBC Four, CBBC, CBeebies, BBC Three, BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC Radio Cymru.

    Use the Yellow button to place a tick beside each one you wish to store and when you've finished ticking press "Select". These channels will now be stored.

    You can view them by pressing the "Services" button, then 6 ("Other Channels"), use the arrow keys to move to the channel you want and press "Select".



    To add the channels below, repeat the procedure using the details provided. As suggested by Sceptre, I'd just like to make people aware that sometimes when too many channels are stored in "Other Channels" they can mysteriously all disappear ! This seems to be a bug in Sky's software that they've never bothered to fix. Different people seem to recommend different numbers of Other Channels to store, but I've never had a problem with anything up to 30. If they are deleted, don't panic - you just have to go through the hassle of storing them again. It may be best not to try to store all the BBC and ITV variations, but just the ones that you're particularly interested in.

    Finally got it going. I was able to add it to the list but when I went to view it, it would say no signal.
    I added it again with the frequencies Redabbey said and it's grand now.
    10832 H 22.0 5/6

    Thanks for the help.....
