Channel 5 satellite manual tuning information

Use the tuning parameters on this page to manually add 5 & its offshoot services to any satellite receiver in the UK and Ireland tuned to the Astra 28.2°E satellite cluster. (Any system set up for Sky or Freesat is suitable).

How to use this information: 

  • Select a category below. Use the different parameters listed, such as “frequency” and “symbol rate” to tune your receiver. Multiple services are broadcast together on the same frequency.
  • Symbol rates may appear differently on some receivers. For example “23000” becomes “23.0 Mbaud” on some receivers.
  • This information is also for Sky Ireland users who want to add 5 and its sister channels via Sky’s other channels menu.
