    The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken!

    Talk about flogging a dead donkey!!!

    I was at Burnley indoor market today, all sorts for sale too, and there was one guy selling Sky boxes and computer bits, and, 2 old blue (that's Analogue old blue!!!) Sky cards!!! I said to him they're only good for ice scrapers but he said to me "You use them to get the free channels", and when I said that they were from the old long gone Analogue Sky days, and he said "yeah, you use them in analogue boxes for the free channels", I was just astounded!!! If anyone's gullible enough to believe that, then they really are pillocks!!!


    The cards in question were the same as the ones in Analoguesat's Focus On... page, here:

    The top blue one is the one the guy was selling, nice ice scraper...

    LOL, doesn't surprise me, but he is right, you use them for the free to air channels and they will get you free to air channels in any receiver on any satellite.
