Hello

Just checking please but am I correct in thinking that whatever receiver I purchase I will need a card to pick up channel 4 & 5.....

Also is there a receiver that will pick up Discovery & Nat Geographic without me signing up to Sky.

Thanks

Not wishing to pour cold water on Mariust5's currently correct post but the open system referred to is currently in the middle of a card swap out which means it will be dark soon
