    Ebay have been under pressure from Sky in the past not to sell FSFS card or ex-UK subscription cards.

    In addition to this, they are now issuing new FSFS cards (white rather than blue) as they upgrade their encryption system. The blue FSFS cards are expected to expire in the next month or so. It will probably some time before the white cards become widely available.

    You would need an old english white card to still receive the ftv channels, very few available Id imagine.

    As the channels you get using the card are rumored to become fta in november I would worry 2 much about it to be honest.

    That been said its upto you...
    Heres a link of a site that might be able to provide one.

    It has been stated for a few months now that all the channel five chain of channels would be added to freesat from November on, that means we would be able to add them manually to a sky box or they may appear on the channels specified when using the FTV card at present....
