Default How to get Sky 1 etc... on "The Box"

Apologies in advance for starting a new thread on something you boys are probably sick to the back teeth of, but go easy.

I've done a bit of searching on the forums but have yet to find anything that's worked. I'm not even sure if the box i have, called "The Box" is a Starview but i've seen it mentioned a few times in here.

I've done an automatic scan by selecting NTL and it finds approx 180 channels but after searching through the 420 channels i have there's still no Sky 1, Sky Sports News etc....

Can anyone suggest how i can locate them? I can't find the frequencies to manually install either. I'm just outside of Glasgow.

The System information on my box is as follow;

The Box
API Ver: 4.51e_E
Boot Ver: 7.0

do a manual scan set down frequency to 000.000 then enable network scan let it finish then exit out and look at the end of your channel list

The can be re-arranged and renamed using the "Channel Edit" function from the main menu. Takes a bit of farting about but was worth it i though.
