GUIDE TO EXTRA CHANNELS AVAILABLE THROUGH A SKY DIGIBOX
Most channels carried on Eurobird satellite are already on the Sky EPG, but the table below shows tests and some others that are available. The names of various channels that have ceased broadcasting also still appear in the list. Access them through manual tuning of your receiver. TV channels are in blue, audio channels in green. These are what I see with my system; if you have a different level of subscription, results will likely vary. Manual tuning does not let you see subscription channels for free!
See my front page inclding a list of the main Sky Digital channels or see what extras are available from the Astra satellites.

Tuning
To access the above channels, you need
to add them to the "Other Channels" section of the Digibox "Services"

Bring up the Services menu and choose option 4 for System Setup then 4 again for Add Channels. Type in the frequency as given above, together with the polarity letter. Alter the Symbol rate and FEC to the settings shown in the above table. Choose Find Channels and the list of channels being broadcast by that transponder appears. Highlight the name and press the yellow button for all the ones you wish to add to your list. Pressing the Select button saves your choices; your selected channels will now be available under the "Other Channels" option on the Services menu. You can save up to 50 channels in this fashion.
