[QUOTE="Razor, post: 29626, member: 175377"] When sky give you a digibox they post code it...IE If you are in Scotland the box knows that you should have BBC 1 (scot ) and not BBC 1 ( NI ) also the same for the ITV channels...IE ....UTV for NI.....HTV for Wales....LTW for South ENG. But if you get a box from Ireland you will not get any ITV channels and will instead get RTE, NET2, TV3, and TNG. And as the box was post coded for IRE it is set so as not to clear any ITV channels. An Irish card can be paired to a uk box but a call would have to be made to SKY. You would have to call from an Irish number they might ask where you got the box as when you give the box S- number they see right away that it was at one time a UK box. Also the EPG is differant for each POST CODE area....IE 101=RTE but in the UK 101=BBC1. Hope some of this helps. [/QUOTE]
