Bought a sky minidish and thompson single lnb off a car boot for a £5(with wall bracket),a sky digibox (AMSTRAD DRX550) and ex blue subcard for £13 deliverd off fleabay, £1.75 for 7 meters of sat cable from wilkinsons, and 2 screw on f connectors for £1.20 from local hardware goodwins. so all in all £20.95 for free to view.

found out how to add channel 5 via other channels menu but is fiver or five usa available?is it possible,any help appreciated.

Fiver / Five USA are ftv and require a valid card (ftv or subs) from Uncle Rupie

Not really - you can add any channels that transmit up to your level of subscription. Therwes almost nothing transmitting off the epg these days - very few test occur these days since Sky closed the epg queue

Keep going to the car boot sales,you might pick up a card for a few pence.
Or "scrounge" an old card from family or friends,if they have got new viewing card.

While the card change is happening, you may get a few weeks off an old card
