How can I get Channel 5 on Sky in Ireland?
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV You can watch Channel 5 (plus 5USA, 5* and the +1s) by manually adding the channel, as it is broadcast free-to-air.
Use the following settings:
Frequency: 10773 10964
Polarisation: Horizontal
Symbol rate (Mbaud): 22.0
FEC: 5/6

John Kerr:
Channel 5 HD is encrypted, so you can't view it with Freesat.
Hopefully one day it won't be encrypted, but then Sky would lose some more customers.

P.S.
Channel 5 standard-definition channel is not encrypted, so you should be able to view that.

Thanks for your help lads. I have been able to get UK channel 5 at last after trying for years. The missus wants to watch the new BB. I think I'm insane for doing it, but at least I'll have the football as well.

I have Sky, and I have channel five, but I've been told that most BB related shows will be shown on channel 5*, which is also available on Sky only to be tuned in. How do I tune in '5*' or 'five star' as it's often referred to as? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Orla: All Celebrity Big Brother programmes are on the main channel. You can't watch 5* as it is not free-to-air.
