A FSFS card is barely worth having now.

It provides access to

Sky3
Fiver / +1
Five USA / +1
ITV in 6 small sub regions

It also puts

C4 +1
C5

on the epg although both are available fta via Other Channels.

In addition it correctly regionalises the epg, although if you arent too bothered about that then this bit doesnt matter

Whilst this may be true in some cases - one of the ITV regions available is TTS which is by far the strongest ITV signal you can get and this is important in fringe areas.

As time goes on I expect more will appear on the freesat epg - such as fiver and fiveUS and then it will be debatable if I wil renew my sky card as in the main I am using my Humax freesat box for most of my TV and to get HD (when and where it is available!)

Here in Valencia there is still the issue of geting good signals in the eveings - ITV2+1 is by far the weakest channel and regularly breaks up even when BBC2 is still strong (and BBC2 only breaks up in bad weather). My good old Pace 2600 boxes still outperform anything else - especially in bad weather so they won't be going just yet.

I do watch those channels from time to time, so I don't want to loose them. The only other option that I have is subscription, and I don't want to go there anyway. Since it is expensive for me to do so.

I might be able to use the card in the C-tech receiver (I got a cam module that works with it) that I have. But it does not update there. :(

It also allows access to parental controls for those with rug rats:cool:

..I got lucky ..
I checked my freesat card at slys website ..and was told I qualify for a free replacement.
..from what I understand you have to have paid your £20 within the last 2 years to a get a freebie.
I wasn't going to bother ...until I read that CH4HD has renewed its sly contract for the for at least another year.
Its the only thing the card is good for these days .
rgds 2 all
and thanks for the 'renewal' info in this thread.
