Can FTA satellite dishes & boxes pick up N3 encrypted channels?

I'm guessing not but thought I'd check anyway!!

Cheers.

Yes they can pick them up but they won't decode them without an official card.

The term fta is the givaway here.

N3 encrytpted channels are ONLY available with an official subscription.

From the answers given to PJs question it would seem the assumption is that he wants to find out if he can watch N3 encrypted channels for free? (Because it is asked so often and the answer is no)
It's not necessarily what he asked. He asked can a FTA box pick up N3 encrypted channels? And the answer is that yes they can with the correct CAM and subscription.

Yes, I'm not enquiring about illegal channel grabbing. I'm simply asking if these dishes/boxes can pick up N3 channels legally with the appropriate subscription cards. If so, this maybe a better alternative as these dishes would pick up more channels than a sky dish would.

Thanks to everyone though as my question is answered.
