What extra channels have you got other than the FTA ones?
I suspect you are selling this book...RUPERT MURDOCH IN TEARSFriday 15 May 2009 11:28PM
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
Channel 5 can be received in Southern Ireland without a card. Tune it in on other channels menu 10.773V SR22000 FEC5/6 on SKY digibox.Iain DaviesSunday 25 October 2009 8:55PM
You can get all BBC/ITV channels via Astra at 28.2deg east, best use a free to air satellite rec. as this will tune in all channels. Using a Sky box is a bit long winded as you have to enter each channel freq. etc. manually.urmanWednesday 16 December 2009 2:11PM

I have old Belfast free sat card yellow house
I can't receive fiver or five usa it says "this program is not available" & "to view this you need a new card" so will your reset work ? Or will I need a new card?
Thanks Dave: If it says "to view this you need a new card" then you probably will. It only provides access to Fiver, Five USA and Sky3. DaveFriday 18 February 2011 9:46PM

I have entered the frequencies for channel 5 in a Sky HD box 10773 H 22000 5/6 and when you try to view in other channels, it says insert viewing card, this is the newer version of Sky HD box, this worked fine on old Sky digibox and also old version of HD box, has something changed.Mark A.Wednesday 22 June 2011 11:59AM
Haywards Heath John Kerr:
Channel 5 HD is encrypted, so you can't view it with Freesat.
Hopefully one day it won't be encrypted, but then Sky would lose some more customers.Mark A.Wednesday 22 June 2011 12:08PM
Haywards Heath John Kerr:
P.S.
Channel 5 standard-definition channel is not encrypted, so you should be able to view that.
Frequency; 10773
Polarisation; Horizontal

Thanks for your help lads. I have been able to get UK channel 5 at last after trying for years. The missus wants to watch the new BB. I think I'm insane for doing it, but at least I'll have the football as well. CAROLWednesday 17 August 2011 11:29AM
Hi i live in Southern Ireland and trying to get channel 5 on my sky box tried the instructions you gave but keeps coming up no signalCAROL: Are you sure you have the parameter exactly as listed (ie, 22, 5/6, Horizontal)? OrlaWednesday 17 August 2011 8:12PM
I have Sky, and I have channel five, but I've been told that most BB related shows will be shown on channel 5*, which is also available on Sky only to be tuned in. How do I tune in '5*' or 'five star' as it's often referred to as? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Orla: All Celebrity Big Brother programmes are on the main channel. You can't watch 5* as it is not free-to-air. PaddyThursday 18 August 2011 11:47PM
Hi,
Tried adding channels (Channel 5) on my SKY+ HD Box but it won't let me change the fequency from 11.778. All other perameters are fine. Any help Appreciated...Paddy Paddy: You normally just enter "11778" on the remote control keypad. TrishFriday 19 August 2011 11:15AM
Hi i've been told by sky that Channel 5* is available to view it just has to be tuned in. I already have 5 but want 5* for the likes of BBBOTS which will be shown on 5*. Anybody know how to tune it in please?
