Hi all.

I'm looking to Get some sort of satellite setup going via My HTPC but I'm confused over the options available.
I currently have a Sky dish on the side of My house that is not being used.
So on to the questions.

1. I beleive that via the sky dish I can pick up freesat, is this correct?
2. I know Sky's encryption has not been broken but with a valid susbscription and the correct Cam card can I access SKy via my PC. I have seen posts about the new cards do not work and other posts that contradict this.
3. If I can use a Sky subscription will I have to have a Sky box to keep the card alive.

Thanks

1) Yes
2) Yes at the moment, but possibly not for much longer when new anti cardsharing algorithms are implemented are introduced in the New Year
3) Probably.
