Reading
Philip: On Freeview, Pick TV is on Multiplex C, RF channel 48/690 MHz. Your box should list it at channel number 11.
Pick TV is not available on Freesat because it is scrambled with Sky's Videoguard system. It is a free-to-view channel if you have a Sky box with a 'Freesat from Sky' viewing card, or an active subscription - it may also be available if you have a recently-expired subscription. It's at channel 152 in Sky's EPG.
