Hello all….

does anyone know a way of getting all the Channels that you get on English Sky in Spain? eg. E4, movie channels?

I think i’m right in thinking that we can get the regular BBC and ITV but that’s about it…..

If you just bring your SKy Card and not your box, you will not get the premium channels unless you notify Sky that you have changed boxes (The premium channels <movies and sports are tied into the card and box number).  Best you bring your box with you also, and ensure that you get the right size dish for your area instaled asap to keep the card activated on the premium channels.

To Clarify, the SKY card is matched to the Box for the premium channels, (It should work on the non premium contract channels in any box) The premium channels being Movies and Sports, depending on where you are in spain the dish size is very important, and for SKY movies in some areas even unreceivable on all channels.

I have had no problem setting up contracts ringing from my Mobile with number sending off.
