New Sky viewing Cards

Postby Acen » Wed Apr 22, 2009 11:17 am

I was told last night that Sky are going to replace the old viewing cards with a new one.

Does anyone know what will happen to all of us here in spain that have the blue card with the yellow house to watch Five Fiver and Five USA???

Surely we wont have to buy yet another £20 card off them!!!

cheers

A lot of the new cards have been sent out already apparently. We are going back to UK next week so will see if mine is there.
I thought channel 5 was going free to air soon.

Five is free to air but does not appear to work on a digibox. It works fine with my two generic free to air receivers.

I would guess that all older cards will eventually cease working.

I get Five on a Sky Box with no card.
Just go to Add Programmes and add the following:
10773> H> 22> 5/6 and select "Five".
Not Fiver or FiveUS though.
