The card your referring to will be a freesatfromsky card needed for the FTV (free to view) channels. Sky3 Fiver / +1 Five USA / +1 ITV (6 regional) Ch4+1 on EPG. | ||

FTA version available on 10.773h but restricted to the spot beam. You'll need an active fsfs card or deactivated subs card. Not sure if this helps. | ||

There are 4 C5 sub regions. One is mapped to the Astra 2D fta version. The other three are mapped to the ftv widebeam versions. Therfore in Italy if you have a Region 2 card which covers: most of England south of Manchester EXCEPT London, Wales Northern Ireland you have a problem as you are mapped to the difficult Astra 2D version | |||

If your using a digibox (as you've mentioned above), these do not support DISEqC 1.0 required for LNb switching. A/B switch possibly but a digibox isn't of much use away from 28e. | |||

My System: Panasonic 42 in plasma fortec star 4200 SKY+ Sky talk and Broadband old compaq computer | Didn't think of it but another scart lead should do the trick. .,HOWEVER,the digibox has lost Channel 5, and my BBC1 NI,BBC2 NI, and UTV have been replaced by BBC 1 London, BBC2 England, AND ITV Central W. Any ideas on how to get the origional settings back? Thanks! | ||

My System: Panasonic 42 in plasma fortec star 4200 SKY+ Sky talk and Broadband old compaq computer | But why Channel 5? If I paid the £20 would I get the RTE channels? | ||
