Hi How do i store channel 5 its not letting me i want it on my tv guide listing!noreen moran: The channel does not appear in the programme guide, only in the "MORE CHANNELS" menu. jillian tullisSunday 28 August 2011 12:36PM
how do i get the irish channel tv3 ireland in n.ireland is it not on sky jillian tullis: You can't get it on satellite , so you can't watch it - unless you can receive it from a terrestrial transmitter. Mike DimmickMonday 29 August 2011 12:39AM
jillian tullis: TV3 *is* on satellite, but it's encrypted - you need a Sky Ireland subscription to decode. However, the Republic's public-service channels then appear at 101-105, with UTV not in the programme guide at all (it is free-to-air, so you could add it back with the Other Channels feature).
Check 
Coverage Map | SAORVIEW to see if you could receive TV3 from a terrestrial transmitter. If you want to receive channels from the Republic, it's recommended that you get a Freeview HD box as they are going over to HD-only transmission much more quickly than we are.

I live in Donegal and cannot get itv? Is this not free?C mcgrath: Sorry, that's not very much to go on. SimonWednesday 7 September 2011 7:53PM

how do i get into more channels?AmandaWednesday 21 September 2011 12:44PM
I have a free to air box as well as the usual sky box here in Ireland. I have Channel 5 tuned in under the "Other Channels" on the sky box. However, I am unable to do it on the free to air box. Can it be done?? Amanda: Yes, just use the parameters listed at the top of the page. JenniferWednesday 28 September 2011 10:13AM
I'm also in NI and can't get TV3 which I'm really annoyed at, I programmed it in on the 'add channel' bit and it gives me what is currently on the channel but no picture. Do you think Sky will ever broadcast it in NI? I had it through Sky in the Republic and just assumed in NI I could get at least the main Republic channels. RTE1 & 2 are ok, TG4 is a pain in the neck and the only decent Republic channel is TV3.
I noticed someone mentioned Freeview - can I get Republic channels through this and if so is TV3 definitely included?Jennifer: TV3 is encrypted and is only provided to Sky customers in the RoI, it can't be got by using "add channels".
You have not provided a postcode so I can't really say if you can get the digital terrestrial service in the RoI. Noel CoakleySaturday 1 October 2011 8:07PM
Used to be able to get BBC News on Other Channels on my Sky Digibox in Rep. of Ireland but now told when tuning-in that there is a technical fault and try again later. Have the settings for this channel been changed in recent weeks? If so, are new settings available? lesnicolTuesday 4 October 2011 8:58AM

Hi, I am from Ireland and have "sky plus" and I was able to get Channel 5 by following your instructions previously but only noticed today that there is a technical fault and when I try and programme it in again it only has the BBC list of channels and channel 5 has gone. Has it moved to a different frequencyMichaelThursday 19 January 2012 9:40PM
Miriam & Susan Barry: I had the same issue, but Hughie C solved that one up there. You can get channel 5, 5 Star, 5 USA and all the plus ones by entering: 10.964 , H , 2200, 5/6 in 'Add Channels'Kieran Thursday 19 January 2012 9:45PM
