Freesat from Sky cards need updating
Monday 21 February 2011 9:07AM

I have a spare Sky+ HD box folowing my switch to Freesat, so I thiught I would try and use it at my holiday home in southern Italy.

I am told that with a 80cm dish & quad LNB wired up to my Sky box I can recieve ITV, Channel 4 & 5 as well as HD broadcasts but no BBC from the Astra 2A and 2B at 28.2° E.

I have my old sky viewing card that was renewed about a year ago but a friend in Italy has said I should get the Sky Freesat card for £20. Then when I receive the new card, connect the box and insert the card and select channel 104 (C4) and follow the instructions on screen.

My question is do I need to get the new card or can I continue to use the old one?

Hi Brian

A bit confused - the channel list you provided is that just to test it or is that the full list? If so, not worth doing methinks

This does not make sense as my friend is using his Sky HD box to recieve ITV, Channel 4 & 5 using the Astra 2A and 2B at 28.2° E.
