Hi James, I should have explained this to you, the BBC and ITV will be only available to you, in other channels, scan them in manually and when you do go to each one you want to keep and hit the OK button when you have all you want hit the yellow button. To search hit the services button then 4 and 4 again, then just enter the frequency and all the rest and then hit the OK button. To access the channels hit the servics button then the up arrow and you will see them. You will not get Sly 3 because it is an Irish card, it is like everything else with Sly, they rip you off, but even more so if you live in Ireland, sorry about that, should have mentioned it to you, but you wanted the card for Setanta I thought.

Very best regards Wez

Hi James,
Join the huge band of Sly haters, we are many. Another thing is that even with the Irish card in the box, which is mercenary, we can't get RTE 1/2 TV 3 or TG 4, without paying Sly for th privilege of getting what we pay a licence for. If, as you put it, the box did not turn into an Irish box, you would not be able to get Setanta Ireland, when you get your card, I am afraid it is swings and roundabouts.

Very best regards Wez
