Using the same ISP ? ISTR reports that some ISPs do not recognise
the domain .tv ?

Seems OK to me.

Not the £23.50 FTV card, no. You can get a card that should do
something similar using the Pout method.

If you are buying a new Pout card (ie. no existing card) does that
have FTV channels or just Pout?

I used the online error method to upgrade my P1 cards, but am I right
in thinking that doesn't work now and you need to pay, albeit a
smaller fee than £23.50?

All UK cards provide the FTV channels.

Most seem to be paying 9GBP now.

I can access it via my BTOW PAYG account but NOT via my normal Freeserve
Anytime.
I've complained to Freeserve.

I had the same problem also using Freeserve. I eventually managed to get a
connection by trying late in the evening. I tried tonight - the web page
came up but the link to the page to purchase a card failed. Keep trying!

Why would't you do it for £9 at Pout? (unless that deal is no longer going)?
