UK sky in Ireland

    I have a uk subscription going back 7 years. I moved back a couple of years ago and set up the equipment and carried on watching and paying for it through my credit card.

    Now I have that message to insert my new viewing card which there is no possibility of me getting.

    Is there any way around this? Would UK sky allow me to carry on watching if I came clean? I have been paying for it all along and I prefer the UK channels.

    If you reset your box and reinsert your card upside down you'll get the majority of channels. And for most of the ones you can't get on the EPG anymore you'll be able to get them manually through the other channels option.

    you wont get anymore channels than not having any card inserted at all. And of course you wont get any subscription channels unless you get hold of your new subscription card.... you may need to go to a ' specialist' card hosting service. ( if your Subscription address is 'not available' and you have no other uk address to use)

    the new White card would have been posted to your uk address.

    is there any way of getting hold of it that way ?

    Ring sky and tell them u have moved and never got ur new card...change adress to a friend family member in uk...get the card sent there....get them to post it to u and voila..continue paying and ur sorted...


    Think the eu are working ways of making sky and other operators allow expats etc to use whatever they want wherever they want into the near future...
