GUIDE TO EXTRA CHANNELS AVAILABLE THROUGH A SKY DIGIBOX
Most channels carried on the Astra satellites are already on the Sky EPG, but the table below shows tests and any others that I find to be 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, UHD (Ultra HD) channels are in purple, local TV channels in brown and audio channels in green. These are what I see with my system; if you have a different level of subscription, results will likely vary. The local TV channels are not free to air and are only viewable if you have a Sky subscription. Manual tuning does not let you see subscription channels for free!
See my front page inclding a list of the main Sky Digital channels

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).
