No. That is a free to air receiver. It doesn't have a CAM slot or a card slot.

What channels do you want to watch; the receiver can be used for the free channels obviously.

Question Re: Sky on a fortec star

Hi All,

Interesting thread...
I've recently bought a TM 6900 (& motorised dish) in order to make better use of my HD tv.
Would a Dragon Cam & valid Sly subscription enable me to see any/all of the Sly HD content?
