Hi guys just want to boast of my achievemnts with satellite,firstly not known in the sat section,started in Eurovox moved through to advance modems and now switched to satellite on the cheap. 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
