Freesat Channel4 TV available on Freeview HD

Although not officially available on Freesat HD satellite receivers, Channel 4 HD has been available free to air for a few month now. So even though it has not been given a channel number on the Freesat HD channel list, it can still be watching. For most freesat receivers you will have to enter “non Freesat mode” on your receiver and scan “Frequency 12.606, Polarisation v, Symbol Rate 27500,FEC 3/4”

On some Freesat viewing card, like the TBS 5922, you may also have to change the Modulation to QPSK, and Transmission to DVB-S2?When performing the scan the channel may not appear as “Channel 4 HD”, but as a number. Until C4 HD officially launches on Freesat, expected later in April according to reports, then you will be able to watch watch channel 4 live online by using this channel in “non freesat mode”.
