William Harkin: Probably because a BT Vision box doesn't run Windows I would have thought.

Briantist: I would've thought that much was obvious!! What I was trying to get at, was is it possible to view some, non-subscription/free-to-air channels by going into 'non-Freesat mode'??
I thought FTA meant channels that are not usually 'free-to-view', but otherwise free as part of a package (e.g. sky). So, no charge to watch them, but you would usually be tied into another form of subscription.
For instance, the channels cited (fiver/five usa), what is their carriage status on freesat/sky?? I'm not aware, because I usually watch freeview only.

Richard: The Freesat EPG has all of the channels that are free-to-air, with the exception of Sky News. How to get Sky News on a Freesat box | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice
Fiver and Five USA (plus Sky3 and Sky3+1) are Sky encrypted channels, you need either a subscription or "Freesat from Sky" card to watch then.

Right, that's pretty much what I thought.
Do freesat boxes have a slot installed??
I realise that many people do not want to subscribe at all (even for the 'freesat from sky' cards), but it would offer a bit more choice if you wanted that.

Richard: No, Freesat boxes do not require a card slot, it would add to the price.
Also the NDS Datacom encryption used by Sky only works with their own hardware.
