How?, on a Passion HD

Two ways to get it with a Passion HD (or any box with a CI slot) and both involve the use of a programmable CAM such as Diablo or Dragon/T-Rex.

1. Use a valid active Sky card.
2. Use a DCW key. One of the Five regions is currently being broadcast using a known constant key.

Following my earlier post, I am afraid it was my warped attempt at humour. It seemed to be such a stupid question. If he had read other posts here he could have easily found out why he was not getting channel 5!

I've seen some sellers list encrypted channels as available FTA before, Lidl were advertizing that you could pick up TCM on 28.2E with thier S*lver Crest boxes:mad:

The easiest way to deal with the matter is to contact trading standards with all the information you have and if they have anything about them they will get that type of advert pulled since they are being deceitful well they are until next year

C5 is expected to go clear and join Freesat before the end of the year. Its almost certain it will move onto Astra 2D for this.

In defence of newbies everywhere there is no such thing as a stupid question...only a stupid answer.
We all have to learn and one of the best ways is asking the experts in forums such as this one, that's why they are invaluable.
Point taken?

In defense of nobody at all, a forum is here to be read by its members unfortunately it is far too easy for someone to come along and ask the question again and again and as in this case doing that has lead to an answer that is not appreciated by another member. A forum is not primarily a question and answer medium it is a collection of information exchanges that we attempt to put into a logical order and categorise for the benefit of people that are interested in a particular aspect. It is however difficult to make people read what is already there.

I believe I followed these instructions but did not get any thing Channel 5 . Is there something missing? I tried saving after the scan but still no Channel 5
