[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 1277, member: 174998"] The "BBC card" enables you to receive: BBC-1, 2, Choice, Choice-N.Ire., Choice-Scot., Choice-Wales, Knowledge, News-24 Also the non-BBC channels: Channel-4, Channel-5 In addition to that, a Sky digibox is capable of receiving a number of unencrypted channels such as TCM, Sky-News, CNN, travel, QVC,..... And by the way, on terminology: "FTA-card" is an oxymoron. A card is only required for enctrypted channels and the definition of FTA (free to air) is "unencrypted". The BBC Card is actually a FTV card (Free-to view - meaning that though the channels it enables are encrypted, they are non-subscription for UK residents). Before you can sensibly be advised on what equipment you need, you must decide which channels you need to receive. If you MUST have BBC1 & 2 for example, then you MUST have a Sky Digibox. No other receiver or device is capable of decrypting the Sky/NDS Videoguard system and BBC-1 & 2 are only carried by satellite on Sky's Videoguard-encrypted digital platform. If you MUST have Sky, then you will not be able to use a "home-made" card because the digital Videoguard and even the analogue transmissions are secure (no hack available). If you don't need either, then a Seca/Mediaguard system with 'home-made' card offers the best price/performance advantage as it were. So what do you want to watch?? 2old [/QUOTE]
