    That link is missing some relevant bit in the middle (where the ... is).
    And searching the OFCom site produces no information about this.

    But there is this elsewhere:

    regards
    For those wanting to know the details, edit the file 'sat_282_sky_uk.xml' located in the following directory:

    /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers

    by adding the line '4058, # Channel 5HD' into the 'whitelist_by_id' section as below:

    Code:
    	whitelist = ['ITV HD','ITV2 HD','ITV3 HD','ITV4 HD','ITV Encore HD',752,'BoxNation HD','BT Preview HD']
    	whitelist_by_id = [
    		1003, # MUTV HD
    		3141, # BT Sport/ESPN
    		3622, # 50682
    		3623, # 50683
    		3625, # BT Sport 1 HD
    		3627, # BT Sport 2 HD
    		3629, # BT SportEurHD
    		3661, # BT Sport 1
    		3663, # BT Sport 2
    		4040, # BT Sport/ESPNHD
    		4058, # Channel 5HD
    		5032, # BT Sport Europe
    		5037, # AMC from BTHD
    		5152, # Setanta HD
    		5153, # Premier HD
    		5154, # Setanta HD
    		5272, # Racing UK HD
    		5662, # 50662
    		5663  # 50683
    Info taken from the update by AbuBaniaz on the OE-Alliance GitHub. Not sure why you can't just add 'Channel 5HD' to the whitelist section, but I tried it and it doesn't work.

    Edit: I've also updated to include the 'Racing UK HD' channel.

    An entry in the swap section needs to be made.
    Code:
            <channel number="105" with="171" /><!-- Channel 5HD -->
    The official file won't have this swap.

    If someone can upload an unofficial file, maybe we can have a sticky thread for people who want it. The one I have keeps intermittently crashing, not sure if it anything with what I have done or data on the tables.
