    Yes you can now tune in your Sky box to pick up channel 5,its not on the Sky EPG yet but its a start.Here is the tunning info.

    To add channels to your "Other Channels" option, do the following -

    With your digibox turned on, press the "Services" button (near the top of the remote).

    Select number 4 (System Setup), and then 4 again ("Add Channels").

    In the appropriate fields enter the following (you move through the fields using the up and down arrow keys).

    10773 H
    FEC 5/6
    SR 22000

    ID 6335

    Cool now I can watch all those great shows like.....um......eh.......

    Im not too worried about Seria A now as between Sky and Setanta there is only so many leagues you can follow.

    Id much rather Sky put the ITV's and BBC HD on the EPG so I can record them.

    Still at least we have it now, dont they do the UEFA Cup?

    Yeah there is too many leagues to follow on tv these days but I've missed the Rome and Milan Derby's for ages now, so it will be nice to see them on tv again.

    I'm sure the odd time an italian game would be equally as gripping as Fulham Vs Newcastle EXCLUSIVELY LIVE or the like. If Inter are defending like they did last night in every game then maybe they would be worth watching :)

    Im pretty sure once you have put in the frequencies the final option is search or something like that and you hit select and it brings up a list of the channels on that frequency and you highlight that cannel and press the yellow button I think to store it.

    You can google it as this is how you add ITV 1-4 etc to Sky

    On your Sky remote, go to Services->System Setup->Add Channels
    In the Frequnecy box, enter 10773
    In the Polarisation box, select H
    In the Symbol Rate box, select 22
    In the FEC box, select 5/6
    Select “Find Channels”
    It will return a list of BBC/itv/ch5 channels
    Scroll down to each one of interest and press the yellow button to select them
    When you are done press the “Select” button
    Those channels are now available in Services->Other Channels

    Once you are in to the add channels option, you will see a preset frequency of 11.778. All you do then is to key in with your remote the frequency dub13 gave.
    The polarisation is next and you simply select across until you see H.
    The SR (Symbol Rate) is next and you simply key in the code stated as above. Same with FEC just go across.
    Then press find channel. A selection of channels will pop up including BBC's but the first one in the second column without a name, merely entitled 6635 is the one you're looking for...

    Hope that helps...
