Hi,
You can only watch _Sky with an official viewing card, which you need to subscribe to _Sky to get.

You can also get a Freesat from _Sky card that lets you watch the FTV channels on 28.2E for a one fee of £20,
which includes _Sky 3 I believe.

BBC 3 is on the same transponder as BBC1 London i.e 10773H, are you getting that?

Robbo - yes i am, but there is no BB3 in the channel listings, i have set a channel as BBc3 but it comes up with the same as cbeebies, the settings are the same - bbc - tes ???? i wont really know till after 7pm when they start transmission, the other channels seem to corespond to astra 28.2 (taken a while to find).....

Yes I think BBC3 and CBeebies share the same settings. I was trying to find CBeebies once,
and I kept getting BBC3! After 7pm it will go to BBC3.

I believe BBC4/CBBC does the same.
