You can't buy Sky here - you have to get it through the UK somehow. Ideally, if you have a UK address you can get your card registered there...

I used A guy I can recommend to obtain and register my card (cost £50) we then pay our monthly subscription direct to Sky at the standard UK rate.

If you want to watch BBC then it has to be large - ~ 3m in the West and >4m in the East.

I've got a 2.7m dish in Pissouri but the BBC breaks up - consequently we watch it on my Wii instead... :lol:

You don't need such a big dish if you only want the Sky channels...

Yeah I just want the sky channels. I have a 2.7 meter dish aswell

2.7m will do nicely for SKY....will even get you ITV/Channel4/More4/E4/FIVE etc..
Not to mention,almost 40 HD SKY channels

But will the signal be ok? Cause i talked to experts about it and said its not worth it with 2.7. They didnt even want to try and set it up so we can check.
