    Hi there,

    Just wondering if it is possible to get the channel 5* on Sky in Ireland and if so what is the code?

    Thanks!

    I may be wrong but you can try tune it in other channels

    This should work in theory but possibly with an Irish viewing card it wont...

    Frequency: 10.773
    Polarization: H
    Mbaud: 22.0
    FEC: 5/6

    You are able to view 5*?

    Are you using a FTV card?

    Isn't 5* the new name for Fiver? It probably will have the same restrictions as applied to fiver. No go via irish viewing card, but viewable with 'Freesat from Sky' card and of course on a UK 'Freesat' box.

    Not yet, supposed to be coming later this year iirc. And when it is, I can't see why it wouldn't be available on "other channels" on an Irish Sky sub.

    I'm using a sky card.

    I tuned it in ok but when I go onto the channel it just keeps saying 'This programme is not available'

    Not sure what the story is with that..

    It's not available on an Irish subscription card. You need either a UK subscription or a UK Free to View card to see 5* or 5 USA.

    The people who replied originally saying that it was possible to tune it in thought you were trying to get Channel 5 (which is free to air).
