    I'd say either your sister has gotten mixed up or the installer sold her a FTV card

    All the UK channels may appear automatically without a card. The installer didn't tune anything. However C4, "Five", "Five Live", "Five US" and Sky Three won't work (The FTV channels), without a UK/NI "Freesat from Sky" card.

    Not unreasonable if he has to run a coax to the LNB. Possibly cheap.

    hadn't thought of another cable, presumed that was done already!

    your sister is correct. you can get it thru other channels.
