ITV2 available on FTV card in ROI box.

JBoyle4eva

I put in my FTv card I got, and since I got it it never had ITV2(Wrong viewing card) but I put it in tonight and behold, ITV2 is working! And it's a uk card in a Irish box.

Does this work for anyone else?

If so, something big is happening!

TVDX

I just noticed this as well.
I was messing around with my FTV card and i taught i had discovered some kind of trick for swapping like the Big Brother interactive one as ITV 2 had come up.
I switched the FTV card back to its original box and its FTV there as well.
What a bonus for FTV viewers.

Could have something to do with I'm a Celebrity..???

Well it certainly looks as if a decision has been made to make ITV2 an FTV channel. Unfortunately it's still not available with an Irish card, but hopefully ITV will decide to go completely free to air in two months time.

In the meantime ...... it's ... Dayvvid ... Letttteeerrrrman !!!

huh!

I'll echo this. However, I assume a FTV card got in July 2003(Yellow House)
will do the business. Not just a card got for £20 from Sky recently? Also must the card be matched to the box?

Pls advise

If ITV2 is to stay FTV does that imply that it is no longer a part of the Sky family pack in the UK, which considering all the discussions recently would seem to point that ITV are removing themselves from their dependency on SKY.

On the ITV2 website it still says that the only way to get it on Sky is to subscribe to UK Family Pack!

Maybe the webmaster is late in today to update the site. Hopefully he is!!

Interesting move.

Yes, it's in the clear on my FTV UK card too.

Could this be a simple oversight, based on the fact that negotiations with Sky were to be completed by Friday last?

BANZAI_RUNNER

in the clear on my Ex U.K. Sub card, but probably just for I'm A Celebrity....

toonarmy

can these cards be bought easily ....? or are they the ones where you need someone in the uk etc....

Widescreen

Why the heck would they put it in the clear for I'm a celebrity???Thats the very time when they would have picked up subscribers!!! There are only two reasons why its clear--

1. By mistake!!

or

2. Because it was negotiated at the recent talks between ITV/Sky.

Nuff said.

:mad:

eirebhoy

I'm not well up on satellite things but I have a standard Irish Sky subscription, am I able to get ITV2?

dwayneburke

no...at the moment only available with english FTV card.....can be vought on ebay for feck all...do a search on boards there is a thread or 2 on it

cupthehand

Can you put a FTV card into an Irish box so to speak and get it to work?
Or will my Irish box only take the Irish card that I have?

Colm80

Yes you can ok works fine.

I assume ITV2's reason for going FTA is due to teh fact that the contract with Sky ran out. They're both just FTV until negotiations are sorted out (2 months?) and then whatever happens then remains to be seen...
