Below are all of Jock's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.New on here, so can Admin please shift this to the proper place. Not had TV for 4 years, along comes furlough, so I get 2nd hand flat screen, not a Smart TV, and plug in an old Icecrypt box, attach to standard Sky dish on the wall. Get all the Freesat stuff, and on the Program Guide there's hundreds of channels with the $ sign, pay to use. I dont have a landline, or cable, or broadband, but the Icecrypt has a card slot on front. Can I get sport or movie channels via a viewing card? Where would I get such a card? And could I get one monthly, as opposed to an 18/24 month contract? Tried asking on Google etc but websites like this seem a bit better option.
Cheers

Hi. Not had TV for about 4 years until this furlough thing. Have connected an old Icecrypt 1600 box to the standard UK satellite dish on the wall. I get all the usual Freesat channels, plus hundreds of others that are encrypted, and the Program listings has a $ sign in front of each of these channels names. Movies, Sports, BT, etc. Pay to view. I have no landline here and no broadband. But there IS a card slot on front of the Icecrypt box. How can I get, say, Eurosport, or movies, using just this card slot? And can i do it monthly, as opposed to an 18/24 month subscription?
