The STB is preprogramed with the uk channels bbc, itv etc but they come up no signal! when i did a channel scan i got about 600 european channels but no BBC / ITV OR CHANNEL 4 ETC. is freesat region specific? anyone got any solutions.. all i want is the english channels. the stb is a fortec star FS-4200 can anyone help?
this is the chans and freqs, maybe of some help Non-Sky Satellite Receivers For the many Non-Sky FTA satellite receivers that are available out there, you will have to consult your user manual for how to scan for new channels as each box have different menu systems and options. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, the following channels are now all available via satellite FTA (Free To Air), meaning no card is required, just tune it in and you can watch away. (The many UK regional variations are also available in the table below this one and many are found generally on the same frequencies as the Irish versions).

Their frequencies will almost certainly change so if and when they do become available for FTA viewing, their details will be amended on the table for all to easily find and the bold status will be removed so you will know when the frequency provided is for a working FTA version of the channel. The FTV channels are listed here anyway for reference and also for people who are using a CAM and FTV card to watch so they can tune them in also. Note that FIVE USA and FIVER cannot be viewed on an Irish Sky card and will only work on a UK subscription or FTV card. # All Channel 4 related channels including timeshifts (+1's) and spin-offs (E4, More 4, Film 4 etc) are the Northern Irish/UK versions of the channels and are completely unrestricted so there will be no programmes blocked such as movies or US imports. * For most Free To Air HD Receivers ITV HD can be tuned in, but, it requires you to either tune in another channel altogether and edit its details to the correct ITV HD settings in order to view, (this is done either on the STB itself or via a PC depending on manufacturer), OR you can download a channel list for your STB, (again, depending on the manufacturer), and load the channel this way by connecting your STB to your PC via serial port or USB.
