[QUOTE="JTA, post: 107380, member: 191063"] a lot of the Italian SKY channels carry an English audio track, so you can watch a lot of these channels from Hotbird. This includes discovery, NGC, TCM, Hallmark and many more. NOT SciFi, alas. this is valid for as long as SKY Italia doesn't change it's encryption system, if it does, all of these channels may become unavailable ! This recently happened with the Spanish Canal+ channels (a lot having an english audio track too), and is about to happen to the Dutch Canal+ channels (which broadcast films & series in their original language, mostly english). So there's no knowing how long the free ride will last ! you have a valid SKY card for the moment, so you should also be able to receive all of the basic UK channels from Astra 2 (ITV 1-2-3, Ch4, Five). All of the other Astra 2 channels will close when your subscription ends. There are some remaining FTA channels, like travel, horror and reality. My best bet would be a dreambox, set up by someone who knows what he's doing, and hooked up to the internet to get the emu-keys automatically whenever needed. [/QUOTE]
