We have a fella that sorts our sky out and we've not had our new card yet. We now keep getting this message about inserting our new card every TWO Minutes and its impossible to watch TV.
Anyone know how I can get around this temporarily whilst I chase up this guy?

Is it a dodgy box, or is it legit?

Sorry to crash the thread but has anyone heard of these Dreamboxes and the fix to use another card's encryption over the Tinterweb?

Its a proper box. This fella over here sets up all the addresses to the UK (our local news is Channel Islands) and sorts out the payments etc. Box was brought over from the UK. Any ideas? |

It's dodgy then, you can't have Sky abroad as it's technically illegal.
Is it set up to a friend/relatives address in the UK or does the guy sort it out for you?
Basically your new viewing card will have been sent to the UK address.

We have a card for 2 of the three boxes in the house and luckily ours hasnt came up with the annoying message yet, the other 2 cards came 2 months ago though.
Sky are not known for their customer service!

The guy sorts it all out. I guess he has an address he uses to register all of the accounts. Thought it was a bit hooky. I'll just have to wait for him to get back to us. He's not the most reliable! Cheers for all the responses. Have to grin and bear it! |

If you have a new box installed this year, I don't think you need a new card. I got cards for all old boxes apart from the one installed in January.

I think my Dad's best mate has something similar. He has some sort of card which he updates online so he gets Italian Satellite. I know he also gets all the UK Sky Sports as well. Costs him about £250 a year I think he said. It's a fucking steal compared to Sky. I know you can buy Albanian and Italian Satellite packages on eBay for about £250 a year, plus £200 for the box or something. I'll fuck Sky off soon enough and join him when i bother to find out more about his TV package thing. |
