Question

Just got a second hand sky digibox, it works fine except bbc1 itv ect are set for east midlands, I live in devon, how do i tune my digibox for my area!

Answer 1

Just use your 'Sky ' remote controll and press search then save

Answer 2

I don't have a Sky box, but I understand that when you go to a 'regionalised' channel such as the BBC, there should be an options button - press this and it shows a list of all the regions.

Answer 3

The "region" is usually set by the post code when the viewing card was first registered. Did you buy the box from someone in another region. Try a card from your friends box see what happens ?

Failing that do the following:

In order to add more regional ITV 1 channels to a Sky TV Box (out of your normal viewing region), follow the procedure below. Please note that ITV reception may not be possible outside the UK, or a large size satellite dish may be required. See our page on Sky TV reception in Europe for more help and information on receiving ITV in other European countries.

Procedure

Press "Services" on the Sky handset (button 4)

Select "Add Channels" by pressing button 4 again on the Sky Handset.

Enter the five digit frequency (from the table below) using the handset number buttons.

Move to the next Sky onscreen menu item (below) using the down arrow button.

Use the left / right arrow button to select the correct polarity (H or V) from the table below.

Use the down arrow buttons to set Symbol Rate and FEC as shown in the table below.

Scroll down to the "Find Channels" option onscreen menu and then press "Select"

Select the ITV 1 region/s required and press the Sky handset yellow button to store it.

Press "Backup" repeatedly to exit the "Add channels" menu.

Add ITV Regions to Sky EPG

To add the additional ITV 1 regions, press "Services" on the Sky handset and then scroll down to "Other Channels" (button 6). Simply scroll down to the alternative ITV1 region you have manually added and press select to view it. To return to your existing Sky EPG channels by using the Channel up and Down buttons on the Sky handset.

It is not possible to add the additional ITV1 regions into the Sky EPG. This makes things a little awkward as access to these ITV channels to view them must always be made through Services > Other Channels. In case you are unaware, all BBC1 and 2 regions are transmitted on Sky EPG channels 941 to 962.
