Sky Digital is the digital satellite radio and television service in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The standard free channels that come with this digital television service are only broadcast in English. If you speak Italian or just want to watch some Italian programming, it is possible to view Italian channels on Sky Digital in the UK. This is because Sky also has a service in Italy, called Sky Italia.

Press the "Menu" button and select the "Language" menu on your Sky Digital remote. On this menu, you can select your preferred language as "Italian," which will change the sound on the sports and news channels. If you do not want to have to pay extra for the Italian channels, this is how you can get some of the channels in Italian instead of English.
