How To Add ITV HD to your Sky+ HD box [UPDATED 2014]

Sunday, January 12th, 2014

UPDATE: For many, ITV HD is now available via the normal EPG, but viewers in Scotland have to wait until April 2014 for STV HD to be added.

It is not possible to add STV HD via this method – STV HD is broadcast on a DVB-S2 transponder and can’t be added due to limitations of the Sky box – and as of March 2014, ITV HD is also no longer available in this way. However, if it’s HD football (like Champions League games) you are after the final option is to add UTV HD (Ulster Television). Here’s how:

1. Press the Services button on your remote.
2. From the middle menu scroll to Add Channels and hit Select.
3. Enter the following information and press the yellow button:

Frequency: 11.053
Polarisation: H
Symbol Rate: 22.0
FEC: 5/6

4. You should be presented with list of channels found, including UTV HD. Press the yellow button to select the channel and Select to store.
5. The channel will now be available via the Other Channels menu.

Note: With “Other Channels” there’s no program information and you can’t pause or record.
