Well if you want Sky via satellite, simply restart your subscription, like you had in the past.
If you want BBC ITV C4s and Fives, then these are free and don't require Sky subscription, just a large enough dish. Nothing has changed with these since December last year really.

You need your Sky box, and card, connected to a UK Phone line (for 1 year) if your equipment was supplied and installed by Sky in the UK.
You need your Sky box, and card, connected to a UK Phone line always if your equipment is part of a Sky multiroom contract in the UK.
If it is in Spain, then you don't, as the box cannot dial into Skys computer system from Spain, and so it can also be "tricky" using a multiroom card / box in Spain.

Changes were happening, but not until later this year, due to rocket failure.

Thanks for summarising the current situation and posting the link to the other current thread.

As we really don't need yet another UK TV thread I am closing this one.
