UK Sky TV in Australia?
Hi everyone,
Have been living in Melbourne for a year but during a recent holiday back to the UK I realised that I cant live without Sky Sports! Is there any way of getting UK sky over here?
I know guys that get it in Europe ie Italy where they subscribe in the UK and pay the monthly fee but have the box in the country they live in.

There is one incredibly contrived way of getting it, but it requires a PC, a broadband connection, a sky subscription in the UK and a Slingbox, but I think you'd have to be seriously missing it to even contemplate it - not to mention bloody wealthy.
