How do I change the RF output channel on a Sky Digibox?
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV Press the [SERVICES] button and then press [4] [0] [1] then [SELECT]
Then press [4] to go to the RF output menu.
You can now change the value so that it does not clash with an analogue TV channel or a Freeview multiplex.
HD and "new EPG" boxes
If you have a HD box, press [SERVICES] button and then press [0] [0] [1] then [SELECT]. Nothing is shown on the TV screen until you press the Select button.Then use the [RIGHT] arrow button on the remote until this screen is shown, and press SELECT to change the values:

Les Anderson: UHF channel 68 is in the 800MHz band which is now used for 4G mobile broadband services. You would be better off finding a clear channel below 60 (please provide a full postcode so that we can see which transmitters are available at your location and identify a channel not likely to be in use).

Les Anderson: Going by the Digital UK postcode checker, UHF channel 22 should be fairly clear at your location, both now and following the completion of the 700MHz clearance program.

Looking at the currently used channels in your area and those predicted for use in the foreseeable future, I would suggest trying setting your Sky box' RF output to channel 34 and then tuning your TV to that (it would avoid any potential interference with other signals). However, it would be better to use an HDMI lead, if your TV and Sky box have that faciltity. If they dont, then could you use a SCART lead, the one that uses 21 pins to feed the signals. That way, you don't need to use the RF output and would get a better quality of picture and sound. If you can use the HDMI lead, then you could even watch the HD versions if your TV set is capable of showing them. A Freeview HD equiped TV set would be able to show them - the HD images are substantially clearer than SD.

Wendy Waugh: thank you very much Mike P.
We managed to tune to channel 68 for now but will definitely do as you suggest for the future,

Wendy:
Glad you got some service. However, Channel 68 is very likely to suffer from interference later as it is in the range used now and in the future for 4G and maybe 5G mobile serices, so it is best to avoid anything above channel 60. It is also wise to avoid any of the channels used by transmitters whose signals may reach your location. That is why I suggested using channel 34 as none of the transmitters in your area use that channel.
As I stated, it is better to use an HDMI lead if at all possible, else use a SCART lead if the TV and Sky box do not have HDMI sockets.
