Sky are sending out new cards to all of their customers,I originally acquired my Sky card from a firm in the UK who supply cards abroad.
I contacted the firm about the changeover and was informed the price for doing so was £149.As we are changeing over to HD,and I already have a brand new Freesat HD box from the UK,which works perfect out here,and which has a better pick up than the Sky box,I took great pleasure in telling them to poke the card up their jacksy.
Getting slightly off subject,I read somewhere that the donkeys in Brussels are bringing out legistlation by the end of the year where all tv broadcasts will be available to everyone,ie ITVand BBC player which you can only get in Britain will be received anywhere.
