can you get FTV channels with fta box?

sky23

maybe a stupid question but can you? I have an mvision HD300 Combo net. correct me if i'm wrong but you can use a uk ftv sky card to get them on a sky box. I think theres some kind of card slot on my receiver is there some card you could use to get the ftv channel?

The page doesn't answer the question. you need a UK ftv card to view ftv channels on a sky box so I was just wondering would it work on my receiver or is it possible

Well it might work, but you generally need to activate the card in a Sky box, then transfer it. You then need to periodically put it box back in the Sky box to keep it updated. This is all presuming the Mvision can handle the NDS encryption that Sky use. You might also need a 3rd party firmware.

mvision will show the channels , but you need a different firmware. ( i cant remember where i got it its 3 years ago now) have a look at the mvision forums.

as rurs said
