Sorry, but what are you using the Sky+box for, are you getting your satellite channels through your TV. If you have finished with Sky and it is a standard Sky+box, rather than a HD box, if you unplug the box and remove your sub card it will default to UK settings, ie BBC1 on 1 etc, including C4. If it's a HD box it retains the Irish settings.

Thanks for the reply, sorry meant to say I'm using the skybox on an older TV with no sat tuner. It's a sky + HD box. Im getting the free to air channels apart from channel 4

Sounds like your Sky box has the ROI EPG with RTÉ One HD at 101. Channel 4 (135) is only viewable with a Sky subscription

You need to get an old UK viewing card or manually tune in Channel 4 HD to "Other Channels" - The frequency is 11126 V 22000 5/6
