Food Network (free on Sky 262)

Now that I see Sky has added the Food Network to channel 262, I'm hoping wholeheartedly that this can be added to Freesat !!!! as it's the ONLY thing that I am lacking on Freesat...some kind of foodie channel.

If I can add this to my Foxsat HDR, can you please explain to me step by step how? I really can't get my head around the extra channel thing. Pleaaaaaase !

Thank you!
PS: any other worthwhile channels apart from this?

Menu Setup manual Tune. Change The transponder from all to 11344 H 27500 2/3 and press search. You are now in non-freesat mode and have an extra menu option STB mode to change between the 2 modes

These are worth adding:

Travel Channel on 12560V and Travel Channel +1 on 11261H which have Keith Floyd progs, Floyd on..etc. and various travel documentaries.

Film24 on 11585H - some good films and series, film and game reviews

Propeller on 11307H - short films and UK music

Unexplained Channel on 11259V - mystery docs and old sci-fi/horror films

Brit Shorts on 11426H - international short films

Luxe TV HD on 12643H - basically pretty pictures, art, cars, fashion, travel in HD

Sky News on 12207V

CBS Reality +1 on 11261H , Moviesmen1+1 on 12524H and Moviesmen2+1 on 11259V (only if the main channels interest you though)

Community Channel on 12226H, some interesting docs on social and environment issues (shows some BBC docs)

you can see what's on all these channels at the Sky TV guide.

Brilliant! I've got it sorted, thanks!
and a TV guide too. Luxe HD looks nice.... was thinking it looked better than BBC HD has been lately but too early to judge.

Now I need to find a quicker way of selecting non FS channels when I'm in FS mode.... still a bit confusing. I hope there's an easier way than menu / STB mode / Freesat or NonFreesat every time.

There's no other way to swap modes I'm afraid. Even a programmable remote has problems as the key strokes aren't consistant

Do any freesat boxes display the DVBS now and next epg for these channels? The Bush one doesnt.

I had to LOL when I saw they added it just now =))))
I saw a retune and thought Hmmm. I wonder.

Why can't they let us add manually tuned channels by choosing a channel number e.g. in a range that is not used, perhaps 7xx?

If I set up Sky News, I want to select by just entering a channel number at any time in the future - is this not possible?

It's not on a Humax freesat box, can't answer for the others though

This food stuff - I got a message saying "update for new channels" - so I did (hoping I wouldn't have to re-do my fave list etc) and it was fine. I got the new channels added to my fave list, so was able to delete them, and I am back where I started.
Oh, and I've worked out how you copy programmes from a Humax Foxsar HDR to memory stick. Took me a fortnight to work it out, but now I know!!
No, I ain't tellin'. Work it out yourselves!!
