Gill: If you are referring to a Sky box then I have just tested the undermentioned procedure / settings on my own box and it worked perfectly OK, the result of the search adding the following / Ch5 / Ch5+1 / 5 USA / 5 USA+1 / 5* / 5* +1 Press SERVICES on your remote control Select (4) :- SYSTEM SET UP Select (4) :- ADD CHANNELS FREQUENCY :- Punch in 10.964 POLARISATION :- H SYMBOL RATE :- 22.0 FEC :- 5/6 then select FIND CHANNELS If these settings still fail to work then disconnect the box from the power supply then reconnect it again after about 30 secs or so and let it go through the usual searching for listings procedure before trying to add anything. Before trying that though carry out a signal test to make sure that the minimum of 60% (or equivalent of) is indicated on the strength / quality bar.
