[QUOTE="lifeboatdoc, post: 22889, member: 175640"] What he could do is ring up Sky and cancel his UK sub. Then ring up Free to View 08705 438000 and request a FTV card. When this comes he rings them and they will activate the FTV card which will give him BBC/ITV/Ch 4 Five News 24 etc. They will ask for the box details as found in the System Details menu. It can take up to three days for all the channels to come up. Once he has done that he takes out the UK FTV card and inserts the Irish Sky card sent by you. You ring Sky and give them the box details and the Irish address and they will activate the Irish card. When he wants to watch FTV put that card in and it will call up the UK EPG and likewise for the Irish card: it will automatically call up Irish EPG with RTE 1 ON 101. Net 2 on 102 etc. So this way he has only one sub (Irish) be it Family Pack or Sky World. but can access the UK Channels not on the Irish EPG Alternativley he can get a second box for FTV. Or get a Freeview Digital Terrestrial Box from Argos- one off £99 ish, has all the free digital channels received from terrestrial transmitters [/QUOTE]
