BBC and SKy Cards
BBC and SKy Cards
What is the situation now? Has ITV 1 Ch4 and 5 gone. Do BBC digital cards still work?
Hi Gazza,
I have a Sky Box, with a viewing card. The card costs me £38 per month, and I get all the channels you asked about, including Sky Sports, and most of the film channels. I pay by s/o from my UK account, and if a new card is issued, Sky have my son's address, who sends it on to me. I am not sure if you can get a box here, as I brought mine with me, but possibly a friend could get one for you. Hope this helps.

You can and will continue to receive all the ftv channels free of charge but without the channels mentioned above. This will include BBC 1 and 2 and Sky news. Plus all of the radio channels that were there before. There will be no charge for this. If you want to pay 12.95 a month via sky, you can get ITV etc back but who would want to for that price. There is another forum covering this including references to the signal in the Algarve since the satalite changeover in July on www.digitalspy.co.uk If you can't receive a good signal for BBC now but used to, then you need to upgrade either your dish or box or both. The minimum size dish for the Algarve is now 130cm but 120cm will do in the right spot. Hope this helps, Mike, Chislehurst.
