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

Emma: Ross uses various companies equipment under their banner, so is Ross shown on the box or is it Tevion? and if so what model is it?
The other point is, are you using it with an existing satellite dish or the dish that came with it? although if you have already completed the dish installation (or using an existing dish) to the point of seeing menus on the screen did you make sure that "Astra / Euro1" was selected as the satellite? this listed as number 22 on the dish setting menu. (if Tevion)

Mervyn: You have to turn on "show Freesat channels in EPG" in the menu you see, and Sky News will then appear on Channel 1000 or above.
