If you pull the card out you will see.
Plus you will probably get ITV1, Ch4 and Five with the card when you stop
paying.

My old sky box (car-boot) and expired card (previous type, not a yellow
house...) used to give me the correct bbc region on 101 (southern). It seems
to have reverted to London now though. Can I justify £20 for a freesatfromsky
card, just to get southern back on 101 and to get channel 5...

I did pull the card out but I don't get any channels at all, just a big
message saying "Please insert card."

stations.

You get all the BBC channels without the card because they are not
encrypted.
Try again.

I've got one without a card (a newish white Pace box). When it is
first turned on, and for the next couple of days, it accesses the FTA
ones fine, but then over a period of days it "loses" the channels.

Does this sound normal? Its only a box loaned from a friend who now
has Sky+, so I'm not that bothered (I just have it there because I
can!)

Sorry can't explain, I have a Pace and 2 different models of Panasonic
without cards all 3 working well.

ta,


Here is my List

http://www.vowles-home.demon.co.uk/Sat/SkyFTA.htm

I think the channel on 428 TWC Reloaded as changed to a Film channel
in the 300 but other than that should be up to date
