    I have spent the last 30 minutes searching on the internet on how to program onto my sky+hd a BBC1 and 2 that is not Northern Ireland.
    I cannot find anything that matches my screen.
    Some say go to Services,and options. My services doesn't have Options.
    Another one says through TV guide and options. Again, I don't have the same screen that they have.
    The reason I want to see a different version of the BBCs is because the regular programs are pushed off by football and rugby on NI but not all other regions.
    Has anyone done this before? I tried calling Sky. I hung up after 10mins on hold, from my mobile. Don't have the patience

    Thanks

    Hi.
    I think I'm getting somewhere.
    I was a bit more observant this time.
    When I hit services I get a small screen top right showing the channel I had previously selected
    Underneath there are two rows of four boxes, Radio, Accessibility, Options, Settings. Parental control, Help, Get products and My ac.
    I went into Options, (yes) and found add channels.

    I searched for the codes of a BBC, I chose BBC west and input them, then hitting the find channels yellow button . It did something. Can't remember exactly what.
    After which I tabbed to Other Chnls, select and it asked for my password. After a search in the drawer I found it and I am looking at a BBC.
    Since they are all merged now, they are all showing the same thing, so I don't know for sure what I saved. I will have to check the programmes tomorrow for divergences and see if I have been successful.
    Thank you for replying to me. ill post back if I have succeeded
    Sky+HD, no brand names on the box which is about 8-10 years old.

    You can add channels that way but they won't be on the EPG and won't be recordable.

    Adding these channels is not necessary, On an ROI Sky EPG there are already non-NI alternatives available

    BBC 1 NI HD 141
    BBC 2 NI SD 142
    BBC 2 England HD 347
    BBC 1 NI SD 832
    BBC 1 London SD 954
    BBC 2 England 969
    BBC 1 England HD 976

    Hey Vic08,
    That's so cool, thanks for the alternatives to 141 and 142. Just what I wanted.
    They were there all along.
    Thanks for replying
