If I wanted to set my mum up with Sky digital how do I go about getting a Digital box without paying for one off sky. And then poping in a BBC card. Also What does a BBC card cost and what does it allow me to have? Great site BTW

You can get a box and card on e-bay and then get a quote from a local installer for instalation.

A local installer will probably be a better bet than ntl, get a few quotes...

Lads thanks for this. I never knew this existed.

I am from the North but My folks are down south so should be easy.

I am I right in Think that I do the following.

Ring FTV and get a card as if its for Belfast.
Buy a Digi Box off ebay
Get a local guy to rig it up.
24 hours later I ring up and ask for it to be activated.

One thing a bit wrong there
You ring up to get it activated, and then wait up to 24 hours for all the channels (bbc1 takes the longest) to be activated.

Just about any angle on setting up an FTV card is dealt with there.
