Hi there, there are loads of threads on this one..... but just to answer your questions...

1. The main thread with all the info is the Clarity on UK FTV card. thread. It's all there. It may be 8 pages long, but all probelms you may encounter are all there.

2. Free if you know a person in the UK, reasonable if you have to buy...

3. <insert grey area comment here>

4. Same slot as the existing Sky sub card.

5. All the channels in yellow and red on this page http://www.iolfree.ie/~icdg/tuning_sky.htm

HTH,

Damien.

Hi

I have got an FTA card from www.west-sat.com. They do everything including getting the card activated. It costs about 35 euro including delivery. Other people on this site have also used west-sat.

Not sure about it being legal.

Channels. You will get BBC1, 2, 4 and News CBeebies, CBBC, ITV1, Channel 4 and 5. You will also get some other channels not sure exactly what they are.

Hope this helps
Michael

West-sat stopped selling them at least a week ago according to their site.

I received my FTA card from west-sat on Wednesday and it was activated yesterday.
It's a pity that they dont seem to be selling them now as they provide a great service which I would recommend to anyone.
Hopefully they will become available again soon.

Aye, pity that. Just as I was going to get one from them too (I was waiting until I actually got Sky installed first)

Back to spotting opportunities for me to beg for one then.
