The only important channels which are not Free To Air and require a $ky
box are Ch4, Ch5, and Sky3. all Beeb and ITV Channels are Free To Air and
can be received with generic boxes. See http://www.wickonline.com/fta.htm
for channel information.

What will I receive "?20 ... one Viewing Card". You will also need
$ky box and dish. List of Channels at http://www.wickonline.com/fta.htm
All BBC & ITV Channels are now FTA and do not need this card,
alternatively hey are receivable with a generic dish and STB.
