Sky will not send cards abroad, freeview from sky is 20 quid, watch forever, or untill they update cards, living in Greece, they will not post out.

I'll have to get an HD box then, I was getting ch 5 but only during the day,
A month or so ago I blew up all my electrical stuff in the house, the sky box included.
I'm going to the UK in January for the sales

Hi Slobodan, i use a 1.75 meter dish, get channel 5, sky 3, five USA Fiver, and occasionally channel 4, got a spare Sky plus decoder if you are interested, have the same problem as Wiggy, very difficult area to any other channels.

could maybe try a different transponder freq never know we changed ours and about 10 extra channels dropped in

Hi Wiggy, will try that, been watching some freeview cards on ebay, they are selling for crazy money, the last one went for 56 quid, people are crazy, if you have a UK address they are 20 quid from Sky, there are even people bidding on the Blue cards, and they are all running out. Crazy crazy world.

So I can order one via my parents address even though they haven't got sky?

Yes mate you can, if you go to sky.com and then follow the prompts to renew card, the only thing you will need to do is get someone with Sky, to put the card in there box to get the card switched on. Then of go happy viewing.
