    Hi
    I hold a UK SKY FTV card.
    can I buy Sky mix packs on this card?

    do I have to subscribe for SKY and then add sky mixes?

    i just want to add a few channels from the sky package.

    Where did you get the FTV card and what stations are on it?

    Not on an Irish address.

    Besides you would not get the 4 Irish channels on Mainland UK address and on NI address no TV3 and occasional blackouts on the others.

    is it worth going ahead with a FTV card + sky mix or get a new irish sub card?

    correct me if i am wrong-
    on ftv card, i need to pay £16(min sub) + sky mix
    on new irish sub card it will be €21+sky mix

    so there is no point in going with the FTVcard + sky mix.

    or do they just give the sky mixes without that minimum subscription on a FTV card?

    A FTV card is really only Five and its sister channels. Nothing else.

    There is no sub for a FTV card. It's a once off payment.

    simple answer: No
    Irish channels only available on subscription.

    or you could connect up an aerial (rabbits ears)
