David584 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 To get the card to work in the other box, you have to ring SKY, supply them with the details they require and then they electronically match the card to the box.Problem is, do this too many times and SKY will get suspicious and therefore will want to know what you are up to.So yes obtain a FTV card.Oh where from? 64 billion dollar question and not one that I can help you with.I would suggest you try using a search engine to try and locate one.

Nick Trollope Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Your card should work in any box, except that you may/will not receive any of the premium channels (Movies, Disney, Sport), if you subscribe to them. "ordinary" subscription channels (Sky1, UKTV etc etc) will work.But, as David said, Sky will get suspicious if you keep changing boxes- I'm sure that they log all these things.Aren't FTV cards available again, from Sky?

Baz Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Sky Free to View cards are available for £20 and will enable ITV1, ITV2. Ch4 and five. The last telephone number I have is 0870 6061111. The call should only be made from the UK and the address given must be in the UK with a current TV licence. They may require details of the digibox including the serial number.Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spoken to our local Sky Mr Fixit and he says you can take your card over and use it in France to get the extra channels- I'm going to try it out!!
