You will only get a Sky Freesat card and not any premium content.

why o why here for 8 months and less then 10 posts? only post when you need something?

there is sky cards out there like what southernsatellite sells which are paid for one year, but are not uk sky? like sky IT ect

the only thing you can be chatting about is c/s which we are not allowed to chat about and is not paid card, but on a sub

Fully unlock the FTA channels does not make sense! If you mean Dave TV etc then you will need a Sky card and Sky receiver

The Technomate will not give you anything apart from the free channels.

If you want the Sky encrypted channels then you are best off with a Sky box and subscription.

Prices start at about 16 quid a month for one entertainment mix, and go up rapidly to 50 quid if you want the full monty in HD in your living room. There are various deals on the go at the moment if you have a look at the Sky website.

Thats the problem i don`t want a subscription as i believe its diff rules or laws for merchant shipping ,soon as you mention a boat thay want more money .
so if i get a standerd sky box and this one payment card that should do it ? ,our dish is pointing at astra 2A/2B

Wait, you want to receive satellite on a boat? How are you going to keep the dish aligned?
