    yes it should, but if you subscribe to movies or sports you will have to ring sky to have your card paired with the new box,

    Thanks for that. I don't see rte listed in the epg. Is this only added when the card is activated?

    RTÉ will only appear if you use an active Irish subscription card.

    I think all sky boxes are UK ones!

    Thanks guys. It did in the end! Took a long time (must have burned up a €30 in calls) - and i'm sorry but their Indian call centre is a joke. There are millions of Indians that speak perfect english. The ones they have on first level support are a struggle to deal with (and understand) - clearly, they are paying them peanuts!
