That all depends on the Ross firmware. You never used to be able to do it on Sky boxes, until they eventually hit the +HD ones with an update so users could manually add ITV1 HD, which at that time was a red-button-only channel (and, as a result, a Freesat exclusive).

With the Ross being a bargain basement box I would personally be very surprised if you can order it to treat a data stream as a TV stream ... but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised. As you say, one for the Ross owners to answer.
