Hi bladesbakinprem

You'll need to tell us:

Exactly what hardware you're having installed, particularly on the receiver side (i.e. make/model/patch etc).
Where you are (will affect dish size/reception).
What you want to be able to watch other than the footy.

Basically, yes, you will need something to enable your Viaccess ART card to function, but the options depend on what other kit you'll have available.
