    Challenge is on both UK terrestrial (TV aerial reception) and Satellite (Dish). I get the terrestrial signal on Channel 26 from Belfast. But unless you are near the border you must be using satellite.

    There are three Challenge channels on satellite 28 East, 11836 H (Horizontal), details here.

    The symbol rate is 27500 and the FEC is 5/6. It is a very strong signal, so if you are getting all your other stations you should have no trouble with that one.

    This site has How To video guides. You should be able to find the page for your TV model number and follow the guide to tune in signals. But try the menu on your remote first.

    Thank you,
    Maybe important but it seems my triax only goes up to 11300 H. Is that possible?

    What stations are you able to get on it? What is the model number?

    The combo TSC114.
    Can get all other main channels, ch4, utv, BBC, pick, spike etc. Seems the horizontal only goes up to 11300.

    The second video on the link I gave is this one:

    How to Tune in the UK Freesat Channels on the Triax TSC114

    Try that and see what happens.
