[QUOTE="tipa, post: 574805, member: 193680"] Dear All, I feel a bit cheeky, not having posted for a looong time, but the replies I got here helped me set up a fabulous system in Umbria, central Italy. When I did that, using a simple Sky receiver and a satellite dish purchased on Ebay Italia, I used a Sky freeview card three years ago. It expired last summer and would not receive any more. I understand that Sky has discontinued issuing these cards. With the beginning of Freesat do I: a) need to get a new dedicated Freesat box from the UK and take it to Italy to replace my Skybox b) do nothing as now the free-to-air signals should work with or without my expired Sky card c) somehow acquire a new card to go in the Sky box... I am in the Far East at the moment but go back to Italy via the UK so was thinking of picking up the Freesat box, but am wondering now if my Skybox will continue to work and pick up the BBC and ITV channels. Many thanks for any help on this. Tim [/QUOTE]
