You can call Sky or apply on-line for a “FreesatFromSky” card. They will send you a card for £20, programmed only for the “Freesat” channels. Have your UK postcode available. They may also want the Version Number and Serial Number of your Digibox (in the on-screen menu). A “FreesatFromSky” card is available only for a UK postcode address that has a BBC TV licence. You can have up to four FTV cards for a normal household. A Guest House may apply for more than four. This card can not be upgraded for Sky channels. You will have to order a new card from BskyB if you wish to watch Sky subscription channels. The BBC/ITV “freesat” digital receivers will be another option as from spring 2008.
