    My father has two ftv cards. The two have been in boxes in Galway for the last year. Ch4 and five disappered from the EPG on both boxes about a month a go and now are only viewable via other channels.

    This may seem a stupid question but I thought Channel 4 was not available on Sky digital over here? No one I know with sky has it and its certainly not on the channels list. Lack on C4 is a major reason I'm holding back on getting digital.

    Can someone with sky explain the situation re C4?

    Read this http://www.vowles-home.demon.co.uk/Sat/Sky.htm but remember if you want a FTV card from $ky you need to get it via someone in the UK!!! You can also buy a FTV card from Ebay and such like sites. You need to buy an activated card.
    When you want to watch Ch 4 you need to take your Irish $ky card out and insert your FTV card.
    Dose this make sense ????

    There is little chance of Channel 4 appearing on the Sky EPG in Ireland in the short-medium term.

    On an Irish $ky sub like The Family Pack you do have channels like E 4 and More 4 these do carry Channel 4 programmes, maybe someone could comment.
    The real question is what do want to watch???
