    NI region cards are difficult to get. If you get another region card and use it (as in card trick) you will get all the channels with the exception of UTV. Thats the only channel that you would be missing.

    I already have another region card which gives me channels on blue button via card trick but I actually want them on the epg too

    You can't get them on the EPG with the new EPG software. Doesn't matter what card you use.

    You are wrong.
    A few of us have them on the EPG with NI cards. Mines an old blue expired one. Works a charm.

    With the new EPG and not via the blue button?

    Strange one happened with mine. I got the new EPG back in July and could only get the extra channels on the blue botton no matter what I done. I tried a few forced updates but no joy. It stayed like that up until a few weeks ago when I had a power cut. I did the card trick again and for some reason the channels came back on to the EPG again. I had contacted sky to cancel my hd package only a week or two before the power cut that may have something to do with it or maybe the box got some kind of an update again that made it work.
    I use a white ni card but I also have a Granada card so I must try that one to see if it works. as well.

    Only the Ni one will work for the full EPG trick I have a Scottish,Welsh,London and Setanta cards and they only work via the blue button method.Only the Ni one does the full trick.

    Cant talk about sourcing cards here, even legal ones.
    But you could ask any mates you might have up north if they could sort you out.

    These cards are the property of BSkyB so you can't buy or sell them.
