Manual Tuning
To access the above channels, you need to add them to the "Other Channels" section of the Digibox "Services" menu.
This is how it works on my Sky HD receiver. Menus may vary slightly on other receivers. Press the Services button and press the right arrow on the remote to highlight OPTIONS, then use the right button to get to ADD CHANNELS. Press the down button so the frequency is highlighted and type in the frequency as given above. Press down again if you also need to change the polarity letter, Symbol Rate, FEC, Standard or Modulation Scheme. Press the yellow button to get the list of channels being broadcast by that transponder. 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 (Services button, select Options then Other Channels).
