You have to tell your box to scan for new channels, it will then add it to the EPG.
The problem however could be due to reception in your area, if this is the case then there will be other channels you won't get, as there are so many channels broadcast in the same space that an analogue channel would occupy, as there can be more than one channel broadcast one a frequency these are called multiplexes (mux / muxes for short).
For example on the Sutton Coldfield transmitter the analogue channels (1 - 4) are broadcast at 1,000kW power and Channel Five on the Lichfield transmitter also 1,000kW power are broadcast on channels 46, 40, 43, 50 and 37.
The digital channels are from Sutton Coldfield, but the power is only 8kW for muxes 1, 2, A, B and C and 10kW for mux D and are broadcast on the following channels, 41, 44, 47, 51, 52, 55.
As each mux carries several channels if you aerial is slightly out of band then you may miss out on a mux, if the power is lower on one of the muxes you may miss out on that mux, if you are some distance away from the transmitter and a couple of other reason why you might miss out on a mux.
Film4 is on Mux D, which in some parts of the country is more difficult to receive and can often be missing from your line-up.
If you are also missing The Hits, UKTV Bright Ideas, FTN, TMF, Ideal World, ITV Play then you won't get Film4, even after re-scanning.
You maybe able to pick these up, depending on where you are in the country, by upgrading the aerial installation, or once analogue is switched off by the fact the power on the digital channels will be increased.
If you are in an area where some of the digital channels are broadcast out of band of your current aerial, then you will need a wideband aerial.
You could type your postcode into:
http://www.wolfbane.com/cgi-bin/tvd.exe? and let us know what it states, it should tell us which transmitter you could be using.
Note: There is no such thing as a digital aerial, digital channels are broadcast within an 'analogue' channel. It's just sometimes aerials are past their best, have dodgy cabling or are an old group aerial and the digital channels are either in the new group or out of that group, hence a wideband aerial.
