    I did this over a week ago and I am just after noticing that on anytime on my box I am not receiving any movies and the list of programmes is a lot smaller than it used to be. Anyone else notice this???

    Question for anyone that got the Setanta card, did it get delivered by registered mail? I ordered one but it never came. I missed a registered letter and was just wondering if that was it?

    I ordered my setanta fta card today but the reply email told me if I wanted to proceed I'd need to ring them. Warnings about this ruining my current EPG too. This is a second HD box I have with no card. It uses same dish as my legit sub HD box. I want it as since the EPG update I am unable to choose Other Channels without it asking for viewing card, which is in other HD box. All parentals turned off. Ok to proceed with ordering FTA card you think?

    I went ahead and rang them. Card arrived today. Now able to view Other Channels and EPG is UK so all ITV, BBC, C4, C5 there and HD. Happy days. Will not be calling to activate =] Thanks to the OP for this thread.

    Does this card allow a (non HD) SKY+box record UK channels ?
    *please say yes*

    it's a SKY Viewing Card to decode the 'SKY' encryption scheme and the 'activate' is used to pair a card with a unique SKY box. As a general rule it won't work in an off the shelf receiver that doesn't say SKY.

    From earlier in the thread - if you have the right gear and know how then the answer is maybe

    You will not get any subscription channels like RTE1 etc with a Setanta supplied Sky card. You will get Viva, Sony, Sony+1, LFCTV, Motors TV and selected Free View programs on Setanta Ireland if it is activated by Setanta.

    BTW I got the card working in a MVISION 200HD Combo by stepping back the firmware from F472 to F460 from GXMAX.

    I think there,s freeview recievers ,
    non sky units,
    with digital recorders built in.
    if you just want to record,bbc, itv etc
    i think a sky box,
    with the card removed will just show the freeview channels,
    itv,c4,bbc, etc uk epg
    free uk channels.
    i set 1 up 2 years ago for a friend .
    an old sky box , with no card in it.
