Looking for 2 x Skybox viewing cards ,
if you have 1 (or 2) that you no longer want PM me ,
Happy to make a contribution the the forum
Thanks :thumbsup:
 
I have the boxes ( pre sky+) & now need the 2 cards ,
They are for a place in France i,m working on .
My electrician there is connecting up the UK satellite dish next weekend & says there is no need for them but from past experience the boxes only work with a card in even though it does not access any subscription channel,s ,
It only allows access to "free to air" channel,s as with Freeview here in UK
So nothing sinister or underhand :roll:

Arent they free off Sky Andy ?

I have one kicking about if needed.

They charge £25 for a free to air viewing card....bandits.. Would a freesat box work instead...

Well i guess it would ? Never tried one TBH , The Skybox is a free to air box but the card allows access to the channel,s they charge extra for :roll:
 
If you have a dish, then just the freesat box will do (from £60 for HD - Bush, Argos. We had one and it was fine, ) You can spend more and get built in PVR. (no, not him) Or if you dont have a dish, Maplins do a full kit.
A Pvr might be a good idea, as I think iplayer etc will suss out you're abroad and throw its toys out of the pram
 
Get a free sat box, you won't see the channels you can't view on it unlike the sky box which used to annoy the hell out of me.
 
I was in dispute with sky and stopped paying my bill..... They cut off sky but I had the free channels still , didn't need to buy a separate card...

I hate sky. (Just needed to vent)
