How to get Sky News on a Freesat box
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV On the set-top box:
Press [MENU] then [DOWN] twice, then [RIGHT], [DOWN] again to highlight "Manual Tune" and press [RIGHT].
On the menu scroll [DOWN] to "Transponder" and then use [DOWN] to find the value "12207V 27500 A".
Scroll down to the "Search" button and press [OK]. Tuning takes a few seconds to complete and press the [SAVE] button.
The set-top box is now in "non-Freesat mode". Press [EXIT] to see the TV picture, which will be Sky News, unless you have already added other channels, when it will be on the highest channel number.
To return to normal Freesat mode, press [MENU] again, and in the "Settings" menu, choose "STB Mode" and select "Freesat".
You can add any channel listed as free-to-air from this list: Eurobird 1 & Astra 2A/2B/2C/2D at 28.2E - LyngSat

Hi
can I get Eurosport on Freesat with a top up payment/subscription-I am a keen cyclist and want to watch some of the events whilst laid up after an accident.

Mike Rutter: No, Eurosport is part of the Sky subscription system.

John Clarke - Have you tried a manual update? If you can't pick up Channel4 having done this try a system reset which takes the receiver back to factory settings and carry out a fresh installation from scratch.

I have a Ross set top box but cannot receive BBC 1 HD nor BBC HD. I e-mailed Ross and they suggested I do a new channel search. I have done this twice with no luck
