Switch from Irish tv to English tv listing on sky box

    My parents use an old sky box to watch free to air channels. The sky box broke down and I replaced it with a second hand one from done deal.

    It’s working fine except that the new box uses the Irish channel list. The old box used the English listing.

    My parents are elderly so I’d like to change it to the English listing. Can this be done? If so, how?

    Sky Digital viewing cards remain the property of Sky throughout and anyone proporting to sell one is selling something that they don’t own. No links to any please

    Another option to consider in future would be a dedicated Freesat box which removes all the encrypted clutter, although I guess they may be comfortable with familiarity of the Sky box.

    The sd boxes should default to the UK channels from 101, the HD box sticks with the lineup of the original subscription.
