for less than the price of a years Sly basic subscription I installed a technomate D5200 + super, 80cm dish and motorized it with all cables and everything from a well known specialist in Hinckley Leics. Learned how to set it up by joinng loads of forums and reading up. Now I get 16 satellites, 3800 channels and with some tweaks abt 1200 in engleesh, oh and the pic quality is better than a Sly box even in Standard Def

So - how do you get Fiver, Five US & more importantly; Channel 4 HD - without a FTV card?

You can't from satellite.


Though at some point presumably CH4 HD will go FTA.
