FTV cards?
 

My Sky+ shoul dbe getting installed next Friday but I'm wondering how I
can go about getting my existing box installed in the bedroom without a
second subscription - just to watch Beeb + ITV etc.

I heard mention of a FTV card to do this but where do I get one and do I
have to ask Sky to install extra cabling etc?

As a follow up I phones Sky and asked them. They said they can relocate=20
my existing box for =A310 (which I accepted). I confirmed with the guy on=

the phone that I would be able to view all free to air channels on the=20
digibox, no extra subscription charge and he did say I would be able to.

I asked him if I would need another card which he didn't know the answer=20
to but said the engineer will have all the necessary needed to get me up=20
and running and will not only test the Sky+ is working but also the=20
bedroom box is setup correctly.

I'll know definatly on the 28th - the day of install.

The sky guy is technically correct you will be able to watch Free To AIR but
without a card you won't be able to watch itv, C4 or C5 because these are
Free TO View. i.e. they are still encrypted.
The engineers do not have viewing cards ...

So my next question would be how will I get hold of a card which can get
them? Without the additional subscription charge.

Possible?

See the thread; "Can U still get FTV cards???" in this very newsgroup

if you believe the recently posting on Re; PR Solus cards etc

we should have to pay £sky £20 +vat to watch ITV

Any other web sites / rumours about new Solus Cards?
