You cannot get FTV cards for the Irish channels (RTE, TV3...). The only way to recieve these channels via satellite, are if you take a Sky subscription. Since the BBC is FTA now anyway, it seems that the only extra channels you will get with this card are ITV (and its regional variants), C4 and C5. 150 Euro sounds damn expensive when you consider other sites are offering it for 23 sterling. They probably justify this higher price by saying that they are providing you with a UK address. So, if you can get yourself a UK address, where the card will be posted to, then its much cheaper for you to use www.free2view.tv to get your card. Im not sure what will happen if you are trying to get this card for a box which sky already know about (serial num)..

Rubbish. You no longer need a card to receive the BBC channels. If these guys are giving the impression that you do need a card to do this, then they may well be crooked!

You don't even need a sky box for the BBC channels, any DVB complient receiver will do.
