ITV+1 only on Sky Q via 11.344 best option?

My Dad's free-to-air setup was affected by the big storm as his ariel was blown down. So he does not have his favourite ITV3.

I remembered tuning into ITV via Sky years ago in an awkward way and learned that on the Sky Q box, you can now go:

Settings | Manual tuning | Pin code | Add Channels |

Frequency: 11.386 - ITV1 & ITV4
Frequency: 11.344 - ITV2 & ITV3+1

The channels are then saved, but you have to access them via the same steps.

I wrote down the steps for him, but it's not straightforward for the elderly.

Is this the best I can do for him on Sky Q?

Seems to be, as per below from the FTA Tuning Guide sticky at the top of the page. The actual tuning details there are out of date. Newest details always on the RXTV site. As you probably know there are both Horizontal and Vertical transponders on 11344 and 11386.
