What happens when BSkyB realises that hundreds of cards are going out to the same address or to North Sea oil rigs?
A bit academic really because the chances of them getting to the people who have paid over the odds for them to unscrupulous third party providers are somewhat remote. |

with the new "glass tube" sky logo on. What happens when BSkyB realises that hundreds of cards are going out to the same address or to North Sea oil rigs? |

Will I be charged for my new viewing card? If you are an active pay TV subscriber, your card will be replaced free of charge. If a further replacement card is required after the changeover process is complete, a charge may apply. |
Re: New Sky Cards - confirmation
So to whom is this £10 or £20 payable. Sounds like a rip-off. All it's going to cost me is the price of a stamp for my parents-in-law to send the card to me when it arrives at my UK address.

Re: New Sky Cards - confirmation
Sorry. Can you clarify. For Spanish use, I bought my card off ebay in the UK 6 years ago. I presume this means i have to buy another one? I also assume i can't have two sent to my UK address from sky?
In both UK and Spain i just get the free stuff and don't subscribe to any channels. Thanks for any help as i leave spain next week, don't return 'til mid june and have guests in the apartment until then. I assume there is a damn good chance they'll be peering at a blue screen saying 'no card':ohmy: Better warn 'em i guess - or send 'em a new card before they leave:confused: Help! |

Re: New Sky Cards - confirmation
It's certainly no joke for the thousands of people paying over the odds to third party providers who will never receive their replacement cards.
