SKY cards outside of UK/Ireland
We have THREE different types of card on offer:
1/ UK SKY Subscription - £80cy if simply purchasing a card for an existing digibox - the card must be matched to the digibox to receive the SKY channels and the card activated. This price covers our administration costs- the card remains the property of SKY
2/ Irish subscription card - All the channels than one gets with a UK subscription, ( save Channel Five)but you gain 4 Irish channels -one which shows live UK Premiereship Football on alternative Saturday afternoons!
Also very useful if you have SKY+ unit as the Irish channels show all the same episodes of your favourite ITV soaps Coronation Street, Emmerdale, The Bill, and also X factor, "I'm a Celebrity.." ( Many UK cards are set to ITV regions not available outside the UK, and so can't be recorded .. Bonus.. E4 also recordable
The subscription are in Euros and can often work out cheaper than the UK pricing, when more viewing options
3/ FTV - Free to view card - receive C4, Five and SKY3 - they are encrypted. Cy£80 ( Cy£50 until March 1st 2007)- We only supply genuine FTV cards - not lapsed SKY subscription cards that could be turned off at any time.
We can now offer customers outside the UK the opportunity to subscribe to the SKY digital package or watch UK channels with a UK free to view card.
We offer a one stop shop to our customers that require a SKY subscription outside the UK/ Ireland. You do not need a UK/ Irish address if using our service! Pay monthly with your International credit card, debit card OR a UK based bank account (IRL cards not UK Direct debit)!
PLEASE NOTE available channels subject to size of dish, your location. We can advise in Cyprus and France, but in other areas you should consult you local expert Satellite installer. If in doubt we will try to find one near to you.
SKY cards can be ordered for use in an old digibox* but it does work out cheaper with a new digibox ( please note all our digi boxes perform well in fringe areas - some well known brands perform VERY badly outside the UK/IRL, where they were designed to work ). Choose from several SKY card packages. Pay monthly and directly to SKY TV so you stay in control of payments. You can use your International credit card if you don't have a UK bank account.
Due to the licensing arrangements between SKY TV and the various film companies, SKY TV can only officially be subscribed to by the residents of the UK and Ireland. Residents of other countries will therefore need to subscribe through a third party (us?) We'll arrange SKY subscriptions in the UK and Ireland. SKY cards can be delivered to all European cities via couriers or registered post. We also cater for customers who already own a SKY digibox. We can supply a new SKY viewing card without a digibox if required.
We can now supply SKY Cards to an address outside of the UK/Ireland and the Receivers that allow reception where many receivers don't work.
How it works.
1/ You choose the SKY Package you want - you pay the normal UK subscription rate via your credit / debit card. This will be collected from your card by SKY.
2/ Purchase a new Digibox and SKY card combination from us.
3/ You provide US ( not SKY ) with your address outside of the UK./ Ireland
4/ Chose your package from the menu on the left.. Each selection will show the channels available in that package and the price. The cheapest prices come first.
5/ Call us on +44 (0) 2895 81 0775 from the UK or +357 99 32 33 00 in Cyprus (or fax +44 7092 333735 ) with your credit, debit. bank details to hand. We will need:
We accept most non UK bank based credit cards, too.
You should be watching SKY within 10 working days - or maybe hours !
I already have a Digibox..
* if the digibox is less than a year old / has an unpaid SKY contract tied to it, we may have problems making your card work with the Digi box. Please be sure that you ( or the previous owner ) do not owe SKY any money. We reserve the right to charge an additional admin. fee of £40.00 if the serial number supplied shows an unpaid bill and we will have to pay SKY any outstanding amount using the credit card details supplied to enable the card for use. If in doubt, buy a new receiver. It will probably work better abroad anyway. We cannot be held liable for non reception of SKY unless we supplied all the equipment, but we can help you do some tests that will tell us where the problem lies. Please remember some SKY digi boxes perform VERY badly in weak signal areas, where others perform brilliantly.
NEVER, NEVER plug your digibox into a phone line unless WE tell you to. Just press "BACK UP" when you see the msg to plug in the phone line.
- we will charge you a monthly administration fee of only GB£17.00 to the same debit/ credit card. This fee is also chargeable annually at £150. There are no fees after this. The new SKY card is couriered to you at that address. you will be emailed a tracking number. Please note that there is a one off charge of GB£17.50 to cover our costs of sending, linking your digibox to the card and initiating the card. This fee will be levied if SKY change their cards - unlikely for at least 2.5 years. Please note the monthly / annual fee ONLY applies to SKY CARD only deals.. Customers buying a Digibox are NOT charged these admin fees.
IS THIS LEGAL?
There is nothing illegal about this scheme. Pirating SKY cards would mean we could be sent to prison for a very long time ! The cards are GENUINE SKY Cards. We don't have criminal records and are NOT wanted for any crimes anywhere !
