[QUOTE="Helmut05, post: 30910, member: 176888"] I currently have an Irish digibox with an Irish sky subscription. As I would like to watch ITV, CH4 and CH5 but have no way of ordering a UK Sky subscription, I thought about getting a FTV viewing card from England (ebay or so) and use it next to my Sky subscription. I know I can't put two cards in the box at the same time, so here's what I thought might work. I'd appreciate your comments and suggestions. A: Use two cards with one box, i.e. remove the SKY card and replace it by the FTV card whenever I want to watch a program on ITV, CH4 or CH5. Is this possible in general? And would frequent removal and reinsertion of the cards (possibly a couple of times a week or even once a day) be harmful to the cards? Any experiences? B: Get a second (used) box and use the FTV card with this box. In that case I would need to hook up two digiboxes to one satellite cable that is fed by a single LNB. Is there a switch, splitter box or whatever device that can split up a digital satellite signal for two receivers? Thanks a million! Helmut [/QUOTE]
