I believe the card is so that you can have access to i t v, channel 4, 5 etc. You need the card because those channels are incripted on Sky but the bbc channels are not. It is just a once off payment for the cardas I understand it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx>

Hi Phil, John et alCould someone please tell me, privately if you've already covered this over the last few days, what Freesat is? I gather after browsing quickly through recent threads that it is an alternative Sky offering covering the Freeview channels? But why I am slightly confuzzled is because a friend of ours paid £20 to receive the Freeview channels from Sky as a one off payment by inserting a card into the DigiBox. And he receives AD on the channels he watches. So what then is the difference between this £20 payment for a card to get Freeview channels through Sky, and the Freesat being discussed here?Thanks for any clarification.
