    I wouldn't bother with the Sky Freesat Card. It just gives you handful of channels like Fiver and Fiver etc. Complete waste of money.

    What channel are you trying to get? You can't subscribe to a single Sky channel.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Freesat boxes can be had for £25 now (Argos) - might be better with one of those?

    Noooooo. No good for you as you need something with a card slot, but good for other people

    FreeSAT boxes are available for £24.99:

    Ideal if you've got a limited Freeview service and have a Sky dish, allowing you to get over 200 TV and radio channels.

    £65 for an HD one alternatively

    AIT is subscription only now(£5.99/month), a FreesatFromSky card won't do.

    If you don't have any kind of Sky card, I don't know whether AIT would supply one or not.

    Kaybenson - if you tell us the channel you want, we might be able to find out how you can get it?
