[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 670825, member: 323322"] Well the fact that you mention 105 suggests (although you don't actually say so) that you are referring to the use of a Sky Digibox? If so, it is the case that there are both Encrypted and FTA versions of Five transmitted from 28E: For EPG slot 105, Sky boxes are looking for an Encrypted version, so a Viewing Card is required. In the absence of a Viewing Card, or for those using Freesat Receivers or generic FTA boxes, the FTA version of Five can be found on 10773 H 22000 5/6. BUT, that FTA version is transmitted from Astra 2D so is often not an easy catch in fringe areas. If you are also able to get BBC 1,2,3,4 etc. then you will be able to get Five. If not, you won't. {I see, upon re-reading, that you do get it} The answer to why some boxes and not others is down to the presence and validity (or otherwise) of a Viewing Card. Although no Subscription is required for Five, it is nevertheless Scrambled in relation to BSkyB 105 . [/QUOTE]
