    They are once off £21 to UK (inc N.I.) post code addresses.

    Google.

    They are properly called a FTV (free to view) or "Freesat From Sky" card.
    They are nothing to do with BBC or Freesat Consortium.

    They belong permenently to BskyB / NDS, thus may not be traded here.

    It is NOT illegal to remove one from the UK, and of course anyone may legally use a Proxy to make a purchase in the UK. This is your loophole. It may be legally used in Ireland.

    Enjoy Googling.

    The ONLY extra channels are:
    C4, Five, Five Live, Five US and Sky3.

    An alternate option is a UK/NI subscription and cancel after 1 year (card is then a FTV card). UK address required. Credit Card need not be UK.
