PS we will have postcodes in Ireland sometime.

if you use a sky digibox in Ireland then the following mappings apply:

101 RTE 1
102 RTE 2
103 TV3
104 TG4
135 Channel 4
136 Channel 4+1
137 E4
139 More4
141 BBC One (Northern Ireland)
142 BBC Two (Northern Ireland)
190 Channel 6
429 Setanta Ireland
434 Setanta Sports 1



On the EPG there is *no* Five, BBC Three, BBC Four, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, 
BBC HD, Five US, Five US+1, FIVER, FIVER+1, ITV3+1, BBC News, BBC 
Parliament as well as *none* of the BBC, ITV or Channel 4 variants at 
971-995

Having said that, all the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 stuff is now 
free-to-air; so the above exclusions (apart from Five, Five US and 
Fiver) do not apply to DVB-S cards.
