LOL.

What are you talking about????

Astra is a company that makes satellites, and has named a number of them, eg Astra 1,Astra 2 etc. Of course these multi-million dollar crafts will continue working when the poxy Eurovoxes go off.

Some info here:-

SES ASTRA - Home

Basically, you need to buy a dish, point it the right way, and then get yourself a satellite receiver.

do you need a copy of a sky card which has all the channels?

Thought that was what you were after free Sly, think on my friend if you want Sly you pay for it. Or do a lot of research and buy a complicated receiver, then spend many frustrating days and weeks setting that box up the way you want it and getting all it has to offer. There is always CS, but that is another matter, as you are looking for a card to get Sly free.
