Does anyone know how I go about getting Sky Digital in Germany?

Are Sky allowed to post viewing cards overseas or will I have to pretend I'm still in England?

I know digital needs, or is supposed to have a phone link which might complicate things. Any help greatly appreciated.

Dunno about Sky Digital but plenty of people had Sky Satellite in Switzerland....apparently you just need to take your satellite, decoder and card and off you're going....

There's almost certainly local companies that'll do it for ya.....try finding an English bar that's got Satellite and asking them who installed it for them....

Cheers Gav. I'm pretty sure I can get Sky Analogue, even though I'd have to re-subscribe. I've been spoilt by digital, and of course with digital you also get BBC etc - just not ITV - It's a bugger about MOTD!

the phone link is just to allow you to do on-line stuff and really isn't needed at all

Don't they use the phone line to download the TV guides etc during the night?

Thanks Macbeth. So I'll have to pretend that I've moved to my mothers in order to get the cards sent somewhere, and just point the dish at the satellite?
