Has anyone else lost channel 5 on freesat this month.

It would appear to have moved.
Does anyone have the new frequency for it so I dont do a full scan and mix up all my preset channels.

A recent post (Channel 5, Channel 5 +1, 5 USA, 5 USA +1, 5* , 5* +1, Channel 5 +1 are now available free to air. mentioned that the Channel Five group of channels recently changed their frequencies and became “free to air”.

This was true apart for all but one regional version of “Channel Five”. This lone version of Channel Five used ot be located on a satellite frequency “loaned” to Five by the BBC. This was to help facilitate Channel Fives appearance onto Freesat.

However in the last week, this “Freesat” version has joined the other Channel Five regions on their new frequency on 10965 H 22 5/6.

Most Sky and Freesat box users should not have noticed any difference as the changes should have been done automatically.

However, in some cases it has required the rebooting of a Sky box, to a new “Freesat” channel scan, as some boxes have not automatically updated to be using the new frequency.

Not simple on mine..

I had to do a fresh installation and search for the satellites before sorting them all back into their positions.

On the plus side, I now have all the 5 channels. 5 USA, 5* etc and all their plus1s

LOL. There were 8 in our van on Saturday night and I managed to launch a freshly poured beer across the place without getting any on anyone.

Quite a bit of cleaning required mind you.
