I CANNOT watch the cricket because SKY have bought the rights. I don't have SKY and cable is a dream concept around here. I'm stuck with Freeview and listening to it on the radio. Mind you, at least that way I can be getting on with other stuff while I listen :-) -- ============================================== Don't take it to the tip recycle it via the Freecycle(r) Network.

Surely they must know about that loophole if it exists and they'd soon put a stop to it. Out of interest, how do I get hold of 'cheap' viewing card? Not necessarily for the full package but just the free to air satellite channels. I've got a Sony satellite digital box and a dish that I want to set up at some time. But I do not want to have to pay SKY anything :-) The dish will go up the garden next to my workshop because my darling wife will absolutely not have on of those ugly dishes on the side of the house.... That's why we don't have SKY. -- ============================================== Don't take it to the tip recycle it via the Freecycle(r) Network.

I *think* you can by the "freesat" cards for around £20.. But you don't get some of the channels (E4 / More 4 etc).. But I think you get a few movie channels

Maplin. Cheap 35cm dish and rx. £65. Bought one last week. Hundreds of free TV and radio channels including all BBC1 ITV etc. What card??
