C: No, you do not need (and indeed cannot put) a card into a Freesat, Freesat+ or Freesat+HD box.

andy: Sorry, but I think communicating with Sky to pair the card and box together is what you will have to do.

Tina: I don't think Sky have ever made a box that had a single SCART socket. This is to where you should attach your DVD device.

Rachel: It might be less hassle to stop dealing with the obfuscation from Toshiba and fit an external Freeview/Freeview+/Freeview+HD box and see if you can get Toshiba to refund you for whatever it costs you.

Syn: The linked item is designed to be fitted to an existing IRS distribution system, it is of no use whatsoever if you don't have one.

Algernon Black: In the US there were sufficient frequencies for the full power replacement digital services to be in operation for many years.

This is because the US terrestrial system is city based and does not cover what we would term "rural areas".

So, the US was a "switch off analogue" event, not a "switchover event" as here, where the low power digital and high power analogue services are replaced with high power digital.

With almost 100% coverage in the UK, this means a rolling switchOVER plan.

It is highly unfair to compare different implementations.
