[QUOTE="TinWare, post: 898627, member: 402760"] Thanks for your quick reply :) That's what I was thinking with regards to normal Freesat; that any universal receiver with a S2 module should pick up Freesat channels. My only concern was Freesat by Sky as there are a number of channels that are not on the normal Freesat link. Channels like Bloomberg, NHK World, and the Horror Channel to name a few. Here is a URL with the channels on Freeview by Sky: [url]http://www.sky.com/shop/freesat/home/what-can-i-watch/[/url] Therefore I was wondering whether a universal receiver could pick up these Sky FTV channels. Does someone have first hand experience in receiving Freesat by Sky channels on a universal receiver (such as the Vu+ Duo or others)? The only reason why I was talking about a CAM for Sky is because to receive Freeview by Sky, one would have to ring customer services with their card number and receiver serial number to activate the service.
