I got about 6 japanese/korean channels with my freeview and i noticed its not part of the list of channels on the freeview website. is this common?

are you able to manually input some frequencies for more sky channels?

Your talking about DTT CH40 ~ 43?? If so these are coming AKL Sky Tower along with Shine on CH25. They are test channels I believe.. FV certified devices can't pick up these channels as they seem top be locked out as a friend of mine discovered when his nice new FreeView TV couldn't tune into Shine.

Those channels aren't part of Sky so the title is a little miss leading.
