[QUOTE="benifa, post: 412286, member: 258348"] Not quite. RTE channels are neither FTA nor FTV. A subscription is required. If you live in the UK and have an out of contract SKY box and card, but want RTE, you can do this: 1. Remove your out of contract UK card and put it to one side - this is now an FTV card, needed for CH4, five, five US, five life and Sky3. 2. Send the digibox by itself over to the emerald isle, where your brother will need to call Sky and request a second hand contract - or viewing card only subscription (no new equipment / installation). This will be at least 2 mixes. Current price is €21.50 per month for this, current offer is first month free (regardless of chosen package). Packages here: [URL]https://survey.sky.com/order/Default.asp[/URL] 3. When he receives the card from Sky, he calls to activate it. Upon activation, the account is live and 12 month minimum term contract begins. 4. Once activated, your brother sends the digibox and new card back to you in the UK for you to enjoy. Don't forget it's a 12 month contract with Sky though. [U]You will have, in your EPG:[/U] RTÉ One RTÉ Two TV3 TG4 BBC One (Northern Ireland) BBC Two (Northern Ireland) Channel 4 (some programming blocked - this may change in 2008) [U]You can manually tune in to:[/U] BBC One (All Regional Variants) BBC Two (All Regional Variants) BBC Three BBC Four ITV1 (All Regional Variants) ITV2 ITV3 ITV4 UTV [U]You will not have:[/U] five five US five life If you can get it, the best subscription would be a Northern Ireland one. You'll get everything in your EPG then, except for ITV1 (UTV replaces it) and TG4. [/QUOTE]
