i have been using my panasonic sky digital receiver in spain now for about 3 years and it has just died on me!
i need a new receiver. When sky replace the receiver do they come round to your house, collect the old and deliver the new one and programme the card to your new receiver or do they just send it to you? if they go to your house this could be a problem as it is registered at my parents home in england!!! help, i hate spanish tv!      any advice?????

‘Sky’ wont actually do anything for you as they have no official coverage in Spain.

Suggest you contact ‘satandpcguy’ on this forum for advice, or go to his website.

Basically I think you will have to purchase a new box and card from one of the so called Sky agents in here in Spain. Just be aware that there are a lot of so called Authorised Sky Agents out here, whilst one or two may be straight there are also many vaqueros…

As mentioned Sky will not service your box ere in Spain.
So you have two options:

1: take the box back tot he UK, to the address where your sky card is registered and get them to come out and have a look and get a replacement box…you may well get a new HD box, and sort out the paring, but they will probably charge ?65 their standard Sky engineer call out rate.

2. get a box yourself from Spain from a company in your area. You, or a person in the UK on your behalf, will then have to contact sky to get your card transfered from one box to another. Pairing is not really required if you only have a freesatfromsky card. Pairing is not really required if you do not have SKy Movies or Sky Sports channels, but do have other subscripion channela, as all other subscription channels should clear on any sky box…but you will have to do the transfer eventually.

You do have a 3rd option.

You could install an new receiver that will decode all Sky channels for far less than Sky charge.
