FTV Cards in Ireland

[Ciarán Bohane]

Has anybody used http://www.irishtvdirect.com?
Are they any good/reputable?
Are there any alternative sources for FTV cards in Ireland?

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)..

and....they claim on their site that this card "gives you access to 20
BBC channels..."

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!

Cowboys,

they even do not know that a card is married to a digibox, so how will you
be able to swap the card(s?)

try ebay, if you want to have the british channels in Eire
For a ? 200,00 you will have a second generation card (the dark blue one)
and a digibox.

so I do think

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