    I would like to try out an FTA card, whats the best way to acquire one. I am using a sky box at present but am moving house and would like to try something different.

    'FTA Card' is a contradiction in terms. If something is broadcasting FTA (Free To Air), why would you need a card?

    Maybe you mean FTV (Free To View), where a channel is encrypted but a card is provided free of charge to a resident of its intended target area.

    Yes, to answer your question, jofus, your best bet is having a relation/friend in UK/NI. If so, you can have a card sent to their address at a cost of UK£20. Then when they get the card, they can forward it to you, stick it in your digibox (ensure phoneline isn't connected) and call Sky (block your number first) to get the card activated. Ensure of course when you ring, that you are using your relative/friend's address. :)

    Apologies for misplaced ftv. Thanks for help. I am thinking of ending sky sub, and was looking for alternatives. It's a pity we have to resort to cloak and dagger to simply watch UTV or CH4. I wanted to try out FTA to evaluate it as an option. I will try and get a card from a trusted source.

    Just checked myself, unfortunately after submit. I of course meant FTV.
