No, it's direct from Sky Italia, subscription all set up - although had I known a bit more about these other sellers, I might've looked a bit more into that! I'm just wondering if there would be problems with me calling from UK to set up. Only reason is that I've been trying to get tickets for a...

:-righton Thanks guys. Of anyone has any experience of activating from UK that'd be great. I need to activate it before 28th if I am to receive the promotional gift!!

Hi thanks for that. I've ordered (an FINALLY received, after a lot of shouting down the phone in Italian at sky and their couriers) a sky hd box and the card. What I'd like to know is whether I can activate it WITHOUT a satellite dish (as I don't have one out here on holiday in Italy) by going...

Thanks for the advice. People out in front watching my antics on the balcony these past couple of days must be wondering what on earth I'm up to, laptop in one hand, mobile in the other, pacing up and down pointing at the sky and shaking my head! I think I will take the advice and pop down to...

Thanks Paul. Yes I tried that one and the line does seem to go away from the building but it is VERY tight (almost flush with the front face of the building, which is where I have my balcony). What with other balconies higher up jutting out, I'm not sure I would have complete line of sight. Is...

Hi all, Never done any of this before so please be patient! Toying with the idea of getting a mobile dish to fix up out here on holiday on the balcony. They're a bit fussy about permanently fixing dishes in the condominium so was hoping to get one of those smaller unobtrusive things to stick...

Hi all, could I resurrect this thread as I am getting a bit nervous about something similar happening to me. I have bought a subscription in Italy to sky and am awaiting the box to arrive. I would like to use it in England when I go back there. I haven't asked sky italia to send out an installer...

Thank you SO muc for your help!! I deleted the 11919 and put it back in manually, rescanned and voila! I then messed up the order of all the channels - they've all gone in alphabetically which mean my poor parents have got some dodgy mature content channels in ch 1,2 onwards - oops! Will have to sort that...

Ok thanks Tivu! Sounds quite complicated to a noobie like me but I'll give it a go and let you know! Thanks for the advice!!

Thanks Tivu. I called home whilst doing it and the wife confirmed that she was watching Gerri Scotti in all his glory on who wants to be a millionaire so it wasnt scrambled. At a loss what to do next. :confused:

Hi, noob here, wonder if anyone can help. I re-scanned the 11919 transponder on my box and sure enough I got the new Canale 5. But I tried it on my parents' box (a Phoenix Apollo FTA) and cant seem to get it. I deleted the current one, rescan 11919 v 27500, a canale 5 came up but it is still...
