[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 179238, member: 193607"] You can't get Sky to change the ITV region unless you are 'moving house' and give a new address in the region you want. I suppose you want to do this because horizontal ITV frequencies from Astra 2D are harder to get in Spain. ITV regions are all allocated via postcode and are automatic once you give a new address. On phoning sky, they now ask how long you have been a subscriber for, your full name and address and title, and your password. They will also sometimes ask for the bank account details, what packages you are on, and how the payments are made. As for phoning from Spain, there are many anecdotal reports of people using mobiles, diallers and withholding numbers etc. I suspect that Sky know very well where a call is coming from, despite all people's efforts, as there are a number of identifiable gateways it can enter the UK from. Usually they just ignore it as so many of their subscribers (1 million, it has been estimated) are outside the UK, unless you draw their attention to where you are. I personally use Sipgate VOIP service (with UK phone number) for calls to Sky and for Box Office Movies. [/QUOTE]
