Suggest your nearest Sky dealer. I would not deal with anyone not having proper premises, sign-written vans and a ready list of referrals. Anyone called Roy Rogers or Wyatt Earp should probably also be avoided.

You need to tell them you already have a Sky+HD box, and you just want to upgrade your package and pair your card to it.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it

I think you will have to deal with a Sky shop here in Spain! No need to hide your number but you must never contact Sky about problems here?

Sometimes Skype works....sometimes a uk mobile will work... or get someone in the uk to call on your behalf

you will have to give them the details on the services, settings system details screen
