Default UK Digibox in OZ

I'm moving out to OZ 22nd May, and, in the throws of getting my stuff ready for shipping, I wondered if my UK digibox would work in OZ?? Has anybody taken one over or knows if it would work??

Cheers

Scott

I asked this some time ago, do a search for sky box, Some people said you could but you would need to down load some software.

Have a look at www.dba.org.au and search the forums. I asked the question in there a while back and the answer I was given was a resounding no. I understand the tuners are different or something and a software upgrade won't make it compatible. I'm no expert though so look it up

Does that include Sky+ boxes?

It seems so, although there are a couple of conflicting bits of info on the form wmoore pointed too. I think I'm going to take mine, for what it's worth and see what happens; it's not like it won't fit in my container!!
