You
should be able to ring sky and tell them you replaced the box
though.
What
you can't do is swap a card between two boxes on a regular basis, but I can
see
no reason why you can't get them to sort your subscription out to move itp
ermanently to the new box.....
You
need to ring the BBC I think it is to get the FTA card. I think
there's a
number in the tech support list you can bring up on the sky box.
Failing that, do a web search on sky digital
abroad/for
ex-pats.
A
lot
of ex-pats get granny or whoever to get the fta card (limited to one
per
address) and ship it over to them so they can get 'proper english channels'
and
not just 'foreign muck'.
HTH,
Tony
Matthew,
AIUI on my info,
the
card and the box are "married" so you cannot just swap the card over, sorry

Digiboxes
All this talk about sky
digiboxes
made me realise that my amstrad DRX100 is probably crap as well as out of
warrenty.
If I were to ebay myself a new
digibox, is it just the case of swapping the box and the viewing
card?
Or is there some other secret serial number that sky need to
know.
If its the former - with the
exception of the 'Buy a sony' thread - I might by accident buying a similar
age box - is any one aware of a website with comparisons (and ages) of the
boxes so that I can make an informed
choice?
Thinking further - where do you
obtain free to air cards if I wanted to use the replaced box elsewhere, and
what sort of double lnb would I need to purchase to share the dish between
two
boxes?
Matthew - whose world is
suddenly
opening up with different possibilities.
