All I want is the free to air channels, is it possible to obtain these with the existing sky set-up. I am particularly interested in Ch4, 5, Five US, Fiver, etc.

I would be grateful for any suggestions re. the above.

They are FTV channels and require a FTV card. FTA channels require no card at all. To get one you will need to know somebody with a UK address that can order one for you. Channel 4 is available FTA. Find out how to tune Channel 4, E4 and More 4 in on the satellite board.

The card should cost you no more than £20 if you get it in the UK.
