As Willis says. Some channels are only available on FreeviewHD Terrestrial. Channels such as Al Jazeera and others that are on satellite are on the Sky platform, are encrypted and can only be viewed with a sat box plus Sky subscription card.

Check here for channels.

Hey Dale,

I hope that the info that willis and Biggles provided, helped with your enquiry, reminder that because you have a unapproved unit you will not be able to automatically receive new channels as they come in, they will require a manual rescan which is limited to what your user guide says.

Kind Regards
Joshua
