is there ANY way to get channel5/five in ireland? I have an up to date sky viewing card?Declan: No, the channel does not broadcast outside the UK. John MurphyWednesday 3 October 2007 8:48PM
Why are some programmes on channel 4 not shown in Ireland? Recent example The Sopranos. Also I cant understand why Sky cannot make Channel Five available to Irish viewers. We pay more for Sky than our British counterparts. And why not list ITV (UTV) in the main listings? Its a real bum deal. Talk about second class citizens!!John QuinnTuesday 30 October 2007 6:53PM
I'm trying to manually locate cbbc and cbeebees on my sky decoder - we used to have them on 'other channels' - but they disappeared...
Can anyone help me with information ?
Also, will sky Freeview card work in ROI? Is it worthwhile buying one ?

will an english freeview box work in the republic of ireland in tipperarygraham: No, there are no digital terrestrial transmissions in that area yet. When there are, it should work... justy01Friday 15 February 2008 10:34PM
will a freeview uk box work in donegal, 15 miles from the border? we can already pick up bbc1,2,utv, ch4 thru our ariel? No channel 5, but i believe it is avail thru the freeview box?justy01: Probably. The only way to find out for sure is to install a box. You MAY need a larger aerial, however.

How do i get channel five on sky in ireland??TazThursday 1 May 2008 10:55PM
What other channels can I get??James MuirThursday 1 May 2008 11:15PM
Need a Freesat Sky card. It's a one off fee of £20 (€30) and it unlocks Five, Five US, Five US+1, Five Life, Five Life +1 and the UK feeds of Channel 4 and Channel 4+1. It needs to be bought in the UK though. Taz : Or you can wait until next Tuesday and have your fingers crossed. kevSaturday 19 July 2008 1:03PM
was hoping FIVE was available to code in for LFC match today but i see it's not...:(kev: not yet, but soon... robbieSaturday 19 July 2008 4:26PM
Hi Briantist,
You say soon? Do you know something i don't? :)JordySaturday 19 July 2008 7:53PM
Robbie - Five will be available this year on freesat. Put two fingers up at those who want to restrict Irish Sky viewers and get a UK card. Google is your friend and the Daily Mail mentality is your enemy. robbie: I know that five has promised to get on Freesat as soon as they can. Jolly Roger: If you have a fSfS (or expired subscription card) from Northern Ireland, you get these channels decoded, but as they are not free-to-air you can't do a 'manual tune' to get them. ukfrustratedSaturday 16 August 2008 5:47PM
I have an up to date sky+ box and card with the basic package-skyone,skytwo sci-fi etc, I also have a freeview box that I use in my kitchen my question is why can I get the new free 4music channel on my freeview box but not on sky ? Im in englandCiaran Mc DermottMonday 17 November 2008 4:11PM
where can i buy a sky card with channel five on itCiaran Mc Dermott: They can be bought in the UK only by calling 0870 606 1111. PeterSunday 23 November 2008 11:11PM
I have been watching 5 on the Sky freesat service for a year or more and it has now disappeared. Why is this? The channel (105) doesn't even show on the listings.dsWednesday 26 November 2008 9:03PM

If i have a sky box with no card and th UK channel line up but live in ROI...Can i get channel 5?Clive Fitzpatrick: Yes, just add it from 10.773GHz Horizontal (22.0, 5/6) using the "Add Channels" menu. mr walter kennedySaturday 13 December 2008 9:25PM
Can Five Us or Fiver be got in ROI
IF YES WHAT ARE NUMBERS PLEASEmr walter kennedy: No, not as yet. diandalWednesday 14 January 2009 4:07PM
The New freesat now broadcasts five, so Irish viewers put in a UK postcode at set up and us UK viewers want rte, anyway of this happening?
anyway i can get rte in Scotland?diandal: RTE is not free to air, sorry. JordyWednesday 14 January 2009 7:25PM
diandal - Buy and register a sky subscription in Northern Ireland and then take the box to Scotland with you... Very complicated procedure if all you want to do is watch the Late Late Show! JordySaturday 17 January 2009 1:35PM
Brian - Yes, you'd have to start finding out if you'd any family here...Jordy: As long as they didn't have Sky! Dylan MWednesday 6 May 2009 10:05PM

You can also use the same menu entry as above but use the secret sky engineers menu. services 4 0 1 select - 10714H - 20000 - 5/6 Which will get you the strongest channel 4 signal. I got all this and tons more high output frequencies from a book at www.Freesabox.net nice thing is, NO SKYCARD IS NEEDED to put the info in a skybox or a freesatbox markFriday 15 May 2009 7:12PM

Suspicions are just that, No sorry, I am keeping it, the other channels can all be found at lyngsat.com europe free. I am merely letting others know there is a diy book to help enter them in their boxes.RichardWednesday 10 June 2009 8:56PM
