Possible Loss of Sky TV soon!
Hi,
I have heard that anyone with a Sky TV card registered in the UK using the fictional type address will not be able to receive Sky TV soon.
Can anyone confirm this, and if it's true, how do you go about changing to a new card if you don't have a UK address.
Regards,
Mike.

You could get it switched to a relatives address, preferably without SKY. You just need to email them or phone them.

- Five,
- Five US and + 1,
- Fiver and + 1,
- Sky 3.
Apart from those channels you can continue to receive all free to air channels (BBC, ITV, etc) as before without any changes.
If you want a Sky subscription card though you will need a UK address or you will need to pay someone an extortionate figure to maintain one on your behalf.

By the way, you haven't confirmed if this is an FTV card or subscription card that you want. If it is the former, at this point it is not certain such a thing will ever be available again.

I think the UK phone number may be a requirement for connection reasons.
Do you know if the phone connection is required to activate the new card, if so, it would be no use being sent over to Spain if not activated.
It would be a Sky subscription card btw.

The phone connection isnt required if you have your own / old equipment / you arent on multi room. They wont send the card to Spain. You need to have it sent to A friendly UK address, so you need to change that address pdq!

Re: Possible Loss of Sky TV soon!
if you are worried just get a friend or famility memeber int he uk to get a card for you....activate it in the uk or in spain and away you go....
as mentioned you only need a tel connection for the sky box if you get a discounted installation direct from sky, or a multiroom card agreement.
no idea what is going to happen the the ftv cards....we think something may be happening in october with all the Five channels maybe going totally freetoair and not requireing a card....and therefore no need for ftv cards...and just hope the free version of fives goes onto a 2d vertical (ie like bbc1) frequency and not a 2d horizontal frequency (like bbc2!)
and to clarify the point again, i just had a call from someone worried that they will loose bbc1 if they do not get their new sky card...no you will not...bbc1 2,3,4 and 100's more channels are free toair, and do not require a sky card to view. the only reason why you have a sky card for bbc is to determine your main bbc1 (101) and bbc2 (103) regions!

I have sky in the UK, if I transfer my supply to my mums address and then have multiroom facility, so mum has one box and should I be able to use it in Spain, once I have moved?
