I think it all depends on where you bought your box. If you bought it it the North, it should be already installed. If you bought it in the Rep, then you'll not be able to install it. That's the way it used to be anyway but it may have changed.

Example - My father bought his in the Republic, receives RTE channels but not ITV, Ch4 or Ch5. My brother-in-law bought his in the North. Receives ITV, Ch4 and Ch5 but not RTE channels. They live across the road from each other.

Both boxes can receive the channels,its just your father has a subscription registered to a Republic of Ireland address so the card sky gave him gets the box to present the Irish electronic programme guide with the 4 Irish channels on it and with ITV etc missing.
A box with that type of card in it or no card can have ITV tuned in manually as per that thread linked above and the other channels mentioned.

It wont allow you to view ch4 though as the software sky uses restricts viewing of that channel to UK registerd cards only.
Your bro in law has a UK registered card.If his card is a subscription card as opposed to a free to view card( A FTV card loads the UK programme guide but also gives access to ch4 ) and its registered to an NI address it will also have RTE1 and 2 and TG4 on the programme guide and viewable.
TV3 wont be viewable with either types of card.

Hope that helps.
