Hi

I've heard that there have been a number of TV/SKY companies closing/closed down due to being illegal.

We need to renew our package in June, could anyone advise a reputable/reliable company to go with please.

Our place is in the La Siesta area near Torrevieja.


Thanx.

Torresatelite CLAIM that they have NO PROBLEMS with their service. Do not use them so can't speak from experience, we are suffering the poor service from Telemicro Levante, but as we are in rented accomodation.....

Ive got a question but instead of starting another I hope you dont mind if I put it on this thread.

Our sky box broke and we have just got another one today. The thing is I now need to phone sky and ask them to marry up our card with this box! I am a nervous wreck in case they suss me out and find out I am living in Spain Does anyone know what I will need at hand before I phone them and also what excuse can I make for not getting the box from sky?

Hi Same difference
check out my reply in a previous thread from a couple of weeks ago,you will see that I telephoned on my English sim which I still have active,I phoned Sky`s Customer service number which can be found on their web site(no need to put 0044 or delete any numbers).My mobile is pay as you go and I thought it would have cost me a fortune so I put £20 on it to make the call but even going through all the different options(press 1 press 3 press 5 etc)I was only on for 6 minutes and it only cost me £2.48.Have the card inserted and the screen information ready for when they ask you for the details of the new box-on sky remote control press services-choose 4 then choose 5,they will want the first 4 lines of detail from you.Mine was activated during the phone call.And don`t worry it`s a doddle...the link to my previous answer is below,if I can help any more please pm me
regards
John

You can call them on SKPE if you have it and they wont know where you are. You're quite within your rights to buy your own box so dont worry about that, and as for the rest ... what he said before me

i think there is a thread about this somewhere but many of the SKy subscription channels have been or are in the processs of been removed from the mesh / rebroadcasting systems due to copyright infringement (telemicro down in torrevieja have done this).
If you have your own sky card and own dish you should have no problems for the foreseeable future.

Just read it and now I have got a problem!

My sky card is registered at our old Uk address and if they issue us with a new one in July like you say, then there is no way on this earth we can get hold of it cos we dont even know who is living there now!

poshnbucks

That is not set in stone it is just a rumour shown on the website I gave you.

Mitzyboy

You're right. We use my daughters address. I think you're going to need a UK address to get it sent to that doesn't have SKY. You'll need to notify them of a change of address, just tell them you forgot to tell them.

Same Difference

Would you mind not telling me rumours please, there enough rumours fly around the expat community without you telling me more!

Same Difference

Oh poo!

I dont have anywhere to register it or can I register it at someones house who doesnt have sky?

Mitzyboy

Thats what I just said, someone who doesn't have SKY.

Same Difference

But wont they know that there isnt a dish there?

You know satellite signals and all that?

And dont laugh.........Im female
