[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 35014, member: 175089"] @Ian, I have phoned SKY from outside the UK for the best part of four years without any problems: just recently activating a FTV card. Scare stories have been abound since that "SKY Abroad" website started. Reading that site put the willies up me: like Rupert would knock on my door himself. Don't believe any of it. If you sound like you are in the UK when you phone them (so avoid letting them hear local emergency vehicles wailing in the background :rolleyes: ) you should be okay. Another hint: Ignore that website. Don't rehearse ridiculous stories - your wasting your own viewing time: like my old endeavours - "my mother is partially blind and can't really see the menus, I bought SKY for her so she could listen to Radio 2" (my mother has never listened to Radio2, is not partially blind and, more to the point, doesn't have my digibox). The better/more expensive packages seem to attract a better 'service' experience. Technical Note: whether this is true I don't know - but, it won't harm to do it anyway: leave your Digibox in the ON position and [b]NOT[/b] in STANDBY during the activation period. Hope this helps - Have Fun, Mark. [/QUOTE]
