Do you really need a UK address for Sky in France?

[missorange]

I am moving permanently at the end of this month and am unsure weather to cancel my sky subscription all together and then sort a new one out in France.  The only address I will be able to use in the UK will be my business address of which I would rather not use unless I have to.  I was wondering if there is another way around it.

Thanks

It all depends on what you really want. Do you have Sky in the UK?

If you do, and all you want in France is the normal free to air channels, then all you need to do is cancel your sub, and bring the box over with you. You will probably need a larger 80cm dish, but as long as you leave your old card in the box you will get all the basic channels fine.

If you want a complete Sky package of some sort, then you will either need a UK address, or have to see one of the satellite specialists in France who will be able to "arrange" it for you.

If you don't have Sky in the UK, then you have to get a box and dish for France. You also have to get a card to go in the box if you want Channel 4 and Five. To get this you will need some UK address, a relation will do. Or talk to the fixer mentioned above.

If you are not bothered about Ch 4 & 5, then any digital box will be fine, and the chances are that you will get those channels too in a year or so.
