For anyone interested, the below is taken from boards.ie:

The BBC went free-to-air on the 10th of July 2003 and ITV on 1st of
November 2005, so here's a handy thread for anyone who wants to add the
free channels
but doesn't know how.
We'll begin with the frequency (10773H 22000 5/6) that BBC3 and BBC4 are
broadcast on, and you can repeat the process using the frequency table
below to
add the other channels of your choice (ie ITV1, ITV2 BBC Radio etc.)
To add channels to your "Other Channels" option, do the following -
With your digibox turned on, press the "Services" button (near the top
of the remote).
Select number 4 (System Setup), and then 4 again ("Add Channels").
In the appropriate fields enter the following (you move through the
fields using the up and down arrow keys).
In the Frequency field enter: 10.773,
The next three fields are toggle fields, i.e. using the left and right
arrows will change the value.
Toggle Polarisation to : H
Toggle Symbol Rate to: 22000
Toggle FEC to : 5/6
Then select the last button - Find Channels.
After a few seconds the channels should appear. The channels on this
frequency should be - BBC One London, BBC Two England, BBC News 24, BBC
Four, CBBC,
CBeebies, BBC Three, BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC Radio Cymru.
Use the Yellow button to place a tick beside each one you wish to store
and when you've finished ticking press "Select". These channels will now
be stored.
You can view them by pressing the "Services" button, then 6 ("Other
Channels"), use the arrow keys to move to the channel you want and press
"Select".
To add the channels below, repeat the procedure using the details
provided. As suggested by Sceptre, I'd just like to make people aware
that sometimes when
too many channels are stored in "Other Channels" they can mysteriously
all disappear ! This seems to be a bug in Sky's software that they've
never bothered
to fix. Different people seem to recommend different numbers of Other
Channels to store, but I've never had a problem with anything up to 30.
If they are
deleted, don't panic - you just have to go through the hassle of storing
them again. It may be best not to try to store all the BBC and ITV
variations,
but just the ones that you're particularly interested in.
