Can you get RTE/UTV on Sky

I am trying to get RTE and UTV channels (available in Ireland) on my Sky Box so my husband can keep up to date with the Irish news etc.

Does anyone know if you can get these via Sky on the 'other channels' options (or any other way)?

I know that if you go into Other Channels you have the option to input frequency, polarisation etc - not sure if this is how you could do it?

Cant see why there would be a problem doing it as these are not what I would call 'premium' channels - but then what do I know!

Any help/useful pointers greatfully appreciated.

    Try the following 2 sets of details

    10744 H 22.0 5/6
    12207 V 27.5 2/3

    Should be able to find

    Sky News Eire
    RTE One
    RTE TWO
    TG4
    TV3
    DW-TV
    RTE Radio 1
    RTE 2FM
    RTE Rna G
    RTE Lyric fm

    Not sure how many you will actually see - mine says insert viewing card - I don't have one becasue I don't subscribe (just take what's free) but I can listen to the radio stations and see Sky News Eire.

    I understand that the Sky News is mostly the same as Sky News UK but that there may be specific Ireland coverage at certain times (especially 10pm ?)

    UTV can be found using 10.906 V 22.0 5/6

    Thanks quoia, have got UTV but when I do the RTE ones, I just get a blue screen saying programme not available - and I do subscribe so I assume you cant get it over here for some reason.

    Thanks again quoia

    Can anyone else suggest anything?
