    There are approx 2oo FTA channels on a Skybox but alot are rubbish such as shopping channels etc, but there are some great freebies to be had such as BBC1-BBC4 UTV, ITV2-ITV4 as well as Film4 and others so its definetly worth having for the choice and picture quality.

    For a full list of some of the channels have a look here http://www.wickonline.com/fta.htm

    If you get a card, you will also receive, channel4, channel5, Sky 3, Five Us and five life

    Best of luck,
    Steve

    FTV would be worth it if you wanted Channel 4, five, five US, or five Life, as mentioned by Steveon previously.

    Of course, a Digibox (even without FTV card) will allow you to use other services like the Digital Text and Interactive services from the likes of Sky News or BBC for example.

    Downside of digiboxes is of course having very little control over channel positions, etc.
