Does anybody know if you can buy a Sky viewing card?

As the title says and if so, where from?

[Neversoft]

I don't think so. Try ebay. If theres something wrong with yours or you need another one I'm sure Sky will give you one anyway.

No, its just I want a Sky Box for my room, just to pic up the free channels and I wondered if you can get the cards on there own?

[dirrty]

you have to pay £10 for a replacement sky card from sky :/
my sister lost mine, so we bought a replacement and then she goes and finds it in her room.

& i dont think you can buy one.

edit; sky do a freeview type thingy. you have to pay for it though. a one off payment.

To have a Sky box, do you have to have a satellite dish or can you just use it like a freeview box?

[dirrty]

to have a skybox they have to install it for you. there are installation fees and stuff. go on their website and it will tell you more about it.

So I couldn't just buy a sky box and set it up myself? Surely I can?

You could buy a skybox, but the card is registered to a persons name and is in theory what you pay for monthly when you have sky.

just get freeview lol

you cant set it up yourself unless you are going to drill a hole through your wall, take it outside up the wall and somehow get a satellite. they need to install it. if have had sky previously then they really dont need to install anything as its already all connected.

I have freeview, but have noticed you can pick up more channels with a sky box. Correct?
