In principle, you will be able to watch all the channels that are available to view in the UK as both Free to Air and subscription digital satellite channels are available. This will include all the BBC channels (TV and radio), all the ITV channels, Four, Five and all your usual favourites. All the subscription channels will also be available with a new subscription card. Sky Cards: Sky has now replaced all their blue cards with a new, white version. The old blue cards are now being switched off. You will lose Five, Five USA, Five USA +1, Fiver and Fiver +1 and Sky 3. This also affects ITV1. To get ITV1 back, simply remote your old card from the slot on the front of your digibox. Freesat Cards: These cards give access to: Five, Five USA, Five USA +1, Fiver and Fiver +1 and Sky 3. For those of you that cannot survive for any length of time without a daily dose of CSI Miami, New York or Las Vegas, you may want to buy a new Freesat card from Sky. These cost £20.00 and are purchased directly from Sky and we have included the Sky website link here. https://mysky.sky.com/replacecard/ For further information on how to do this, please contact us and we will be happy to help you. If you dont want to buy a new FreeSat card it is possible to programme Channel Five into your Digibox as an “other channel”. If you need any help, please contact us and we will send you the instructions. Many of you will be getting a message on your TV screen asking you to replace your Sky card. If you are paying Sky a subscription, you will automatically be sent a replacement white card to the last address Sky has registered for you. Those of you that have updated this information or who have made alternative arrangements will get your card in due course. But please don’t forget that without a card, you will still be able to receive all the BBC’s, all the ITV’s and Channel 4, potentially Channel 5 and all the radio stations. More changes by Sky: 05.03.10: We have this week been made aware that Sky is no loger distrubuting standard Sky Digiboxes and Sky+ receivers. With immediate effect Sky will only be supplying Sky + HD receivers. For a very short time there will be a few standard and Sky+ receivers left in the distribution system but we anticipate this stock will diminish rapidly and as they become harder to find, the price will inevitably rise. If you are thinking of upgrading your system or replacing your current ageing receiver, we suggest you contact us as soon as possible for the latest availability and prices. Foreign Language Channels: And a finally, if you have moved to France from countries other than the UK, Orbit have experience of providing TV for clients from Russia, Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal. Most European countries have TV channels that are accessible with the right equipment and a correctly aligned satellite dish. If you would like more information about TV from a specific country, please call us.
