Skystar HD2 card with Sky+ HD

Now channel 4 HD is on freesat (and E4 HD?), I thought I would rescan my channel list on dvb viewer with my sat card
But for some reason I am still not finding the FTA version, only the encrypted 1s
Am using the skystar HD2 card by the way with windows 7 x64
Have tried various tuning methods as well, should I still be scanning using astra/Eurobird 28*2 east?
Can I manually add the channel/s with what settings etc?

E4HD is still encrypted but you shouldn't have a problem with C4 HD. Are you putting the correct parameters in? It's DVB S2 (not DVB S like the other Freesat HD channels) 12606.65 V 27500 3/4.

There is only one version of C4HD and it's unencrypted. Are you sure you're putting the right details in?
