Hi, Anyone know where I could get a card for the above stations (& other FTV). It's to be a gift for my dad who's mad into satellite (3 of them right now), but I know nothing about satellite but don't know where to start looking... TNX

If you try here it might answer some questions but its very difficult to get one at the moment but there are rumors that $ky might be offering a card to do this in the near future.
