Howdy there.

I have sky HD downstairs, pay about 50 quid monthly or so, cant remember how much.

Also have a sky HD box upstairs and iv got a freeview card plugged into it (it had freeview channels without the card, but the tv regions was messed up), so got a local freeview card for it.

They both share the same satellite dish, I rarely use the TV upstairs but my missus just turned it on and said how on earth have we got MTV upstairs.

Nothing has changed infact this TV hasn't been switched on for weeks, we had a power cut the other day (though I highly doubt that has anything to do with it).

But upstairs has ALL, and I mean ALL channels, even all the movie channels, everything, and we don't even get this downstairs which we pay for??

I mean its not a bad thing, but how in the name of all that's holey has this happened?? any ideas? :p thanks :D

Also, I tried unplugging the box at the power socket just to test if it was anything to do with the power cut why iv got all the channels, and it still has them all lel.

What's probably happened is the card you got is an ex-subscribers card that has missed it's 'kill' signal. This signal is repeated several times but eventually stops or is only broadcast periodically. Enjoy it while it's on but it likely won't last more than a couple of days.

I get my Sky TV channels for free too. :)

Well the card says freeview on it and Iv had it for months with it only receiving freeview channels heh
 
Just as a update it was still working 2 days ago but just turned the telle on now and it's not got all channels any more :( was good whilst it lasted. No idea how it was happening but I wish it was back already lol. Might have to get sky multi room. Extra expense!
