    Hi.

    On the upc digibox there is an option for digital radio stations - but there is some stations that arent coming in.

    Is there anyway to tune in stations? The one I want is radio na life, and is obviously an irish station so it should be available?

    UPC run the guide and if it is not in the guide it's not on cable.

    There are not hidden channels on cable.

    For a station to be available on UPC they need to sign a carriage deal with UPC like any other TV or radio station. There are no must-carry radio station and just because a station is Irish doesn't mean it has a right to be carried (unlike TV where RTÉ1, RTÉ2, TV3, and TG4 are must-carry).

    As the poster above points out, there is no equivilant of "Other Channels" on UPC. While there is a way to do a full rescan for channels, it should only really be used as a last resort on the advice of UPC customer service and won't give you any channels you didn't already have.

    RTÉ Radio na Gaeltachta is on 905, if you are looking for some Irish langauge content. If you aren't in the Raidió na Life transmission area, its on the internet if you want to recieve it.
