    you can't

    You need a Sky Digibox or a Freesat box.

    You CAN find the video channels used in the BBCi (see sticky on tuning BBC) and view them.
    (alternate Wimbledon/Olympics video etc )

    12.441, V, 27.5, 2/3

    BBC Stream 3 0
    BBC Stream 3 1
    BBC Stream 3 2
    BBC Stream 3 3
    BBC Stream 3 4
    BBC Stream 3 5
    BBC Stream 3 6

    11.954, H, 27.5, 2/3

    BBC News
    BBC Parliament
    BBC Stream 4 0
    BBC Stream 4 1

    Obviously the detail of how you add and scan a transponder is different on your receiver, but you can do it.

    I have a freesat box and all these streams / feeds are tuned in - it's a bit tedious if you want to use them but during Glastonbury for example and Wimbeldon I was able to view different concerts and matches by just selecting the channel numbers that corresponded to each feed. You could also sort the channels in such a way that all the streams are together

    If you have an actual Freesat box then BBC interactive does work, no need to tune in the individual streams...
