You just need to follow these instructions here:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Using Sierra Chart Historical Data

To get more historical data, follow these instructions:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_HistoricalIntradayData.html#h42.1

Do not do this:
When I leave the setting to "SC All Data Services" in "Symbol Setting" as illustrated by the instruction, it just reverts back to "Interactive Brokers" in "Symbol Setting" once I reconnect to data service.

When I actually change the "Service" to "SC Data - All Services" in "Data Service Setting" and try to download it says "Historical Download Skipped" and doesn't download anything.

Leave the settings at Interactive Brokers.
