My Satellite Setup
No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Near Pontop Pike, Co. Durham
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!!!
:-deadhorse

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... :-rofl2

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. :-lmao
