Does anyone know if I were to buy a Sky Digital card in Ireland, could I get
the 4 Irish Channels that are on the EPG now in main-land Britain?
TIA

Unfortunately RTE is not FTV - I think you need the Value Pack in
Ireland to get it. This is unlike the UK where BBC etc *are* FTV. I
think this because that RTE couldn't afford a system similar to the
"BBC Card" system in the UK.
