Great, all you need is to order a Sky Viewing Card subscription for 189 € per annum. After receiving the Sky viewing card from us you simply need to activate it on your original Sky box. The viewing package can be selected on Online Activation.
All Sky viewing cards need to be paired to one specific box to receive Sky premium channels. You might see the message “this viewing card is not authorized, please call…” or “wrong card for your set top box, please insert correct Sky card”. In this case you need to pair the viewing card to your new box by transmitting your new box system details via our Online Activation Form to us. We will then manually pair the viewing card to your Sky box, and you can enjoy Sky UK on your own box.
You can get Sky TV all over Europe, partially even outside Europe. Regarding the dish and best size for your area you would need to contact a local satellite technician to do the installation.

Choose from sports Stand Alone Channels – BT Sport / ESPN, Manchester United FC TV , Chelsea FC TV, Liverpool FC TV, Racing UK or Premier Sports to add to your Sky TV package. Stand Alone Channels are paid separately in addition to the normal monthly Sky subscription. Terms & Conditions apply.
Sky provides subtitles on 87% of the content on average across 26 Sky linear channels. Subtitles also available on Sky Sports.
DiSeq is NOT supported by any of the Sky certified boxes. We do not guarantee it to work in a DiSeq environment. To run it in a DiSeq environment (at your own risk), you need to put the signals of the dish receiving ASTRA 28.2° to the setting “DiSeq OFF” – meaning this satellite is routed to your Sky box directly without any DiSeq in use. The 11kHz signal is used by the Sky box to change into the higher band. Your local installer can assist you with that.
To activate the new Sky viewing card, please refer to the paperwork that will be sent along with the viewing card. Please go to our Activation Tool and follow the instructions online.

We notify all customers 6 weeks in advanced for Sky account extensions. The 1-year service renewal fee is 179€. The Sky abroad subscription can be cancelled by giving at least four weeks notice prior to the first annual renewal, or any time after this 12 month term, by giving 30 days notice and sending the Sky Viewing Card back to UKsatellite.TV.

If your monthly payments to Sky UK fail for one month then they will just carry the balance forward to the next month, as well as cancelling your direct debit details. They will then issue the account with an invoice around 14 days before the next months payment is due. If this payment is not received on time then you will get a “Call to Upgrade to receive this channels’ message” which means the system will automatically suspend your Sky account. If payment is received within 22 days of the account being suspended then your viewing will get automatically reactivated, if payment is after that time then we would have to call Sky and reinstate the account by clearing the outstanding balance. There is a additional .50 pence charge for credit card payments.
Sky Digital can take 2 months subscription at the start of the contract term. You then have 1 month free at the end of the subscription.

We will take care of it for you.

In the UK you can get the Sky digi box for free (or nearly free) but you must agree to connect it to the telephone line for 12 months according to the terms and conditions of the “interactive contract”.
Outside the UK it cannot be connected to the UK telephone line and therefore the Sky digi box or Sky HD box must be bought non-subsidised. We only sell non subsidised Sky boxes which can be used outside the UK with no telephone connection.
Sky will only switch off a Sky Viewing Card if the monthly payment is not made. This can happen if you call Sky yourself. Please always contact us with any issue you are experiencing and we will resolve the problem.
