Assigning a channel to sky
 
My sky works ok through SCART but I cannot properly tune on a normal channel
through my TV. (It shows on channel 21 and 68 but the quality is poor) Does
anybody know how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Services 401 Select

Set the RF channel to whatever is suitable for your area (i.e. one which
doesn't clash with the 5 channels used for analogue terrestrial channels or
the 6 digital terrestrial multiplexes in your area or with your VCR's
output).

Scroll down and save the new setting.

Um, why do you want to? You'll have a much[1] better picture via
SCART...

See the FAQ for the proper connections. The RF link though the digibox
is pointless and should be avoided.

Indeed. My (otherwise knowledgeable) Sky+ installer tried to force me
to let him set it up this way but after much persuading shrugged his
shoulders and conceded I knew what I was talking about...
