I've just found a website that claims they can supply an Irish sky card to anywhere in Europe that will give you all the irish channels, the site is irishskycards.com. Does anyone know if this is legit/legal or if it would actually work? Apparently you dont need an irish address or bank account, they just send the card and box, arrange your subscriprion and you just need to have a dish fitted then activate the card! This seems a little too good to be true so was just wondering if anyone has any experience of this website. Mabe this is what the Irish pubs do to recieve the Irish channels?

Are the irish sky cards still available, and if so how do you go about this?

Does anyone know if it's possible to receive these channels in England? (Liverpool to be precise). Been living over here for a few years now and have been looking into getting the Irish channels for a while but it seems quite difficult. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks very much for the replies. I'll check out that visajourney.com website and hopefully find something there. From reading the above posts I don't think my record does come under the 'moral turpitude' category. I honestly can't see them being able to access everyones record though, but I would love to know exactly what information they can access!

General discussion / Travelling to the USA

I've booked a holiday later this year where I have to travel through the states. I've recently found out I need to apply for a visa waiver through an online esta form, on which it asks the question "have you ever been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude?" Or similar words to that affect.

My problem is that I have a criminal record but I dont know if it is a crime of moral turpitude! So I was wondering if I just tick 'no' on the form is there any way the US customs and immigration can find out about my record when they take fingerprints and scan my passport upon entry? Has anyone had any similar experiences recently or does anyone know what information they can see when they scan your passport etc? (I hold an Irish passport).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I have been researching this online for quite a while and I cannot find any definitive answers.
