FSFS - C4HD

Luxe is fta but not on FSFS or Freesat epgs

I think thats it.

You would need a SkyStar as I think that that is the only DVB-s card that will talk to the software required to read the Card outside a Sky Box. You will also need a cardreader like a smargo.

Be aware that Sky are currently planning on implemnting some changes to their encryption that may stop the card being read outside of a Sky Box.
