May be of Interest to some, ITV channels now FTA

Dave Grennan,
to get all those channels with Chous or NTL is about 30 yo-yo's a month! (well, them plau a few more!). Isn't it amazing that people are stupid to pay Chorus to install free to view channels into your home? Thats what I told the Chorus rep that came to my house last week! He was, needless to say, shocked, that almost all their channels in their basic package were already free! :shock:

Seanie.

Better still!!!!

get a friend in Northern Ireland to order you a "freesat from SKY card" for ST£20 and you get everything except tv3 (and other silly sky esk rubish). pop it in your digibox and cancel you sub.

Howsat!!!!

Thats what we are al talking about I think David! That same card is €120 in the Repblic. The company that provides them in the UK don't post to Ireland, but I don't see any restrictions in someone from there posting one over to here.

As far as I can see with "freesat" from Sky the only extra channels are C4 and five, the rest can all be received with any digital equipment...If I had a sky box I would get that card from sky but, Its not worth buying one. On the other hand I could always subscribe and receive the history channel, discovery , National Geo etc....but then I would spend too much time in front of the box..

As far as I know then are still available at present. for st£20 You need to get a friend from NI to ring Sky for you giving them a NI address and ask for a freesat card to post it out to. If you ring yourself then remember to hide your roi tel number. The only extra stations you get though are ch 4 and 5 but you will get the Uk epg so u dont have to be switching in and out of other channels all the time. there is a website in the uk that does post to ireland but not really worth it now that utv is fta. They used to charge STG£70. Sorry back to astronomy now
