HI guys, this is all quite new to me,
i have as follows; a43cm dish and a panasonic tsu*** sky box, i do not have a sky house card. but using your forum have searched around and have channel 4 and 5 programmed in.
DO i need to by a yellow house card or have i found all other channel that will work?
or by having the card can i access more channels that say viewing card needed?

the card will give you Sky 3 and a few others but not sure which

charlie1966 · 29-12-08, 04:49 PM

Think it only gives Sky3 and channel number allocation to channel 4, 4+1 & 5. There isn't much on Sky 3.

If your in Ireland you wont get any extra channels and the BBC ITV Channel 4 and five will disappear from the EPG

An ftv card registered to a uk address currently gives you

Five (the scrambled version not the fta version used by Freesat)
Fiver / +1
Five US / +1
Setanta Sports News
Sky 3
Channel 4 HD - on HD sets only of course

puts the correct regionalisations on the BBC & ITV regions & C4 / +1 advertising micro region

whats the difference between the two?

The FTA has all the sports(ueafa Cup,NFL etc.) that I assume the scrambled version has!

They are exactly the same

Ones scrambled the other isn't.

The one that is unscrambled is Broadcast off Astra 2D on a tight spot beam over the UK as far as i know.

I think the other is on Eurobird1 alough i could be wrong. I never watch much British TV to take that much notice
