    STV HD ON FREESAT NOVEMBER 2013 ?

    Hi, I currently have my freesat tuner that is built into my Panasonic tv tuned into a London postcode because quite simply they give 1 or 2 more HD channels.

    However, as I am in Scotland I would like to add STV HD as of November 2013, can someone please tell me how to do this ?

    I know how to get into the tuning menus etc, so that helps I guess, .

    Just sick of not having STV HD on Freesat when I know it is meant to be available.

    Also, I heard on the grapevine that channel 5 HD could be coming to freesat soon, anyone got any good reliable sources of info on that too ?

    Cheers guys n gals

    You wont see Channel 5HD now for years seeing as they just tied in with $ly's basic package just a few weeks back. The only new HD channels arriving are the ones from the BBC ala CBBC HD, Cbeebies HD, BBC3 HD, BBC4 HD, BBC Red Button HD

    Not too sure if you can manually tune in STV HD as you would lose the Freesat EPG i think your only choice is to change the postcode

          but a manual scan on what freq's etc etc for my tv freesat ? If I run an autoscan I have to put in a postcode, so I put in London's and that gives me all them channels, but then I want to add any extra for Scotland here such as any Scottish HD channels like STV HD for example, know what am sayin mate ?

                the telly only has options to put in "transponder frequency" and thats 5 digits long, then an option for polorization and one for symbol rate ????

                  the frequency is 10936, polarization is vertical (or V) and the symbol rate is 23000, that should work?
