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.
