I believe you can add channels by going to the service menu and entering '2846'. I haven't tried this yet so I don't know if it actually works. There will be a firmware upgrade in the near future that will add a manual tuning option to the settings menu.

Btw. the Bush's tuner is much more sensitive than my Pace 430N. I get 100% signal strength an 90% signal quality hear in the Netherlands, about the same as my Topfield. The Pace is usually at 40-50% quality & strength. The interactive text is much faster than on any Sky box I have used.

All in all not a bad little HD receiver for the price ( Argos 119,- including HDMI cable) if you can live without the component and composite outputs that the Humax has.
