Or you could go and buy a basic, true Freesat box - more info at www.freesat.co.uk or www.joinfreesat.co.uk - and never have to worry about buying a replacement card ever again.
I notice Sky have now started showing a splash screen on programs that can only be removed by hitting the BACK button and thus preventing a Tivo from controlling it. Is this the same thing?
