RE: OT Sky Digiboxes



Title: Message
You don't actually need to ring Sky. You can get at it through the Installers Menu.
 
Go into System Setup. Press "0", "1", "Select" and you'll get the Installers Menu up. Then choose "6" for New Installation.
 
This allows the card to be associated with the box automatically (IIRC, it dials Sky to do the work). It doesn't always work successfully - you may need to try it a couple of times.
 
Cheers,
Steve

You should be able to ring sky and tell them you replaced the box though.
What you can't do is swap a card between two boxes on a regular basis, but I can see no reason why you can't get them to sort your subscription out to move itp ermanently to the new box.....
 
You need to ring the BBC I think it is to get the FTA card.  I think there's a number in the tech support list you can bring up on the sky box. 
Failing that, do a web search on sky digital abroad/for ex-pats.
A lot of ex-pats get granny or whoever to get the fta card (limited to one per address) and ship it over to them so they can get 'proper english channels' and not just 'foreign muck'.
 
HTH,
