    Hi all,

    Can anybody tell me if it possible, once installed the basic SkyDigital, to receive other Free on Air channels from Italy for example (which are partly on Astra and part on Hotbird) ?

    Thanks a mill from a total beginner !!

    Jack

    Well if you can pick up hotbird on a dish aligned for eurobird, then you have one kick ass 3M solid dish, or else its just magic.

    Offhand and for Irish viewing cards
    BBC1 (wide screen), BBC2 (wide screen), BBC News 24, CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg UK, Sky News, Fox News, and Game Network.


    As long as you have a viewing card you can get these.

    Sky's FTA definiton is sligtly different to most [ie] you need our viewing card to watch these.


    Maybe you can get the "Jesus Channels" without the card.

    BBC News 24 is not on the Irish card. this can only be received with a British Sky subscription or one of the *free FTV viewing cards

    *free only from a UK address but people do bring them into Ireland and they work fine
