Channel 5 and Setanta

Hi,

This is not a moan about Setanta Sports or anything. I have just got a Setanta Card but I can't find channel 34, which is the Freeview channel it should be on,
anywhere on my EPG.
I can get channel 5 perfectly and I thought they used the same frequency/satellite?

Any help would be great or does it sound like an ariel problem?

Cheers.

    Is your freeveiw box set up to show scrambled channels in the EPG ? you may need to change a setting to display them, does your EPG show the Top Up TV channels 38,39 and 40 ?
    Just to be clear, you talking about 'Freeview' and not Freesat as you mention 'satellite' in your post

    Hi iniltous,

    Nope my box doesn't show the scrambled channels? Do you know how I can do that?
    I am definitely talking about freeview, I am using BT Vision.

    Any help would be great.

    Try pressing 'BT Vision' button , then 'settings' 'general settings' 'tv settings' then 'customise channels', this should list all channels to appear
    on the EPG, make sure channel 34 (setanta) has a tick
