    Get a new card, it's going to expire very soon.

    And the new card has to be sent to a UK address?

    I am getting the same message onscreen. When does it expire anyway?

    I don't have any UK address, can I purchase the cards from a retailer?

    I've heard that it will be the end of January before they will finally be defunct, but the nag screen is a pain. If you really can't rustle up a relation or friend in the UK I think you can buy the cards on Ebay, though I'd rather get them directly to be sure to be sure. I got mine through a relative who lives in Northern Ireland - remember it has to be validated with a phonecall to Sky when the card is in your machine. You need to withhold your Irish number for this or get the UK/NI person to ring for you.
