Would that be on Freesat? I've tried re- tuning mine but it doesn't come up.

It won't yet, it's not due on the EPG until next month

http://www.freesat.co.uk/what-you-ge...s/channel-4hd/

However, you can add it in Non-Freesat mode, or any other FTA receiver
at 12.607 GHz Vert FEC 3/4 SR 27500

Scrub that, just tried to add it to my Humax Freesat PVR. I can't, the FEC for
that t/p is fixed to 2/3, unless someone knows different !?

Didn't I post the solution for this a bit back? Go right to the top of
the list of frequencies and after the highest one the display says 'O'
and you can then manually enter all parameters.

Thanks Bill, got it, also don't forget to change mode from DVB to DVB-S2 !

100% quality and 100% signal, so no problems here with the reported low signal
parameters I've seen mentioned by some on Digital Spy ?

I'm getting 100% but not 100% signal, unsurprising because the signal
levels on the distribution system are deliberately quite low.

I just realised that in fact you don't have to click up up up to the
highest frequency. When you first start off one left click does it.
