    available to any UK address. I have come accross this outfit.....try emailing: sales@tvtrade.ie.

    nothing illegal, maybe technically against 'terms and conditions' for use outside the UK, but 'are you bothered'???

    I am not 'holding my breath' awaiting the 'card police' here in the south of France!!!

    Yes. £25 on their Freesat From Sky website (http://www.freesatfromsky.co.uk/faqs-freesat.aspx) while it still says £20 on their "replace a card" site (https://mysky.sky.com/replacecard). Maybe thats why its not taking my credit card details at the moment. Anyone else getting this when trying to purchase a Freesat card recently?

    Hmmm. Not working for me. I have two. Was trying to get a third. Keep getting this message now:
    Sorry

    An unexpected error has occurred

    Unfortunately, an unexpected error occurred while we were processing your payment.No money has been taken from your account. Please try again.

    Please note, you can only purchase a maximum of 4 cards, if you need to purchase more than 4 please call us on 08442 410 595

    Wondering have they blocked the card as they have checked and seen its for an RoI address?
