http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/radio...channel5hd.htmThat 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:

You would need a sky viewing card for starters.

MatLCFC

Can you buy a Freeview card that would work in the Vu+ box?

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:

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.

Thanks for he info, how can we swap it with SD version so that 105 becomes channel 5 HD?

An entry in the swap section needs to be made.

<channel number="105" with="171" />

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.

The swap for Channel 5 HD is included in the default xml file.

It's certainly in mine, and I haven't modified it.

Official file is here

I just opened the xml file on my box - inserted the line as per chaser's post, did a scan and all good.

14-03-16, 20:34

Very strange - it's not in that official file linked to above, but it's definitely in my xml file and I hadn't made any changes to it. However, it doesn't actually swap the channel.

Am I missing something here?

Never mind - it will be because I need to add Channel 5 HD to my lineup and rerun the scan.

Here's my sat_282_sky_uk.xml file, originally taken from my VU+ Duo2 running OpenVix3.2 build 037. It's been updated as follows:

Line 244: <channel number="432" with="466" />
Line 357: 4058, # Channel 5HD
Line 363: 5272, # Racing UK HD

Channel 5 SD / HD swap was already active in the file (line 228).

Abu - could you rename the thread to something more meaningful please? CH 5 HD may be FTV in the UK (with SKY card), but it's not FTA at the moment as far as I can see. I certainly can't clear it with an RoI SKY card in any case.

I have yet to see any official documentation that CH5 HD will be going FTA and/or becoming available on Freesat, I think some people have seen the info regarding Freeview and jumped to conclusions.

^^COMPASS^^

15-03-16, 13:56

You are absolutely right, it is currently FTV and requires a UK card with entitlements. The thread title is currently titled "Channel 5 HD FTA to launch on freesat & freeview"

I have added ( Currently FTV) to title. Hope all parties are happy with change.

I was planning to edit the dead links too, but could not find them. A search on ofcom's site did not return a result either.

Here are the Links Abu

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

Have used the file from Post 8, which has the above included within it, however, Channel 5 HD, ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD, ITV4 HD, ITV Encore HD, Insight HD, MUTV HD and SBO HD do not clear. Racing UK HD etc all fine though.

Any ideas where I might be going wrong, as no doubt it's really simple.

I'm running Vix 4.1.001 on a Vu+ Duo.

ViX 4.1-001 would have had the latest xml file so no need to have changed it.
