You will need the dedicated Sky Italia NDS box made by Pace and will need to have it 'married' to your card in the same way as Sky UK.
Do you currently have a subscription?? If yes you already have the decoder you need in Italy and will need to bring it to the UK.
If you don't have a subscription then the card is useless.

I just received in the post, a new NDS card from SKY Italia,with instructions to replace my existing one,(about 9 months old).
When i called them to ask why,they said for security reasons?
anyone know whats going on?

Its like the UK,you will have to have your cousin call SKY in Italy,from the address that the card was issued to.give him all the info,box no card no ect.
You will need to have everything set up at your end,usually connects within an hour.
I checked the info given to me when i subscribed,SKY have a fax no 027610107.

I think you will be ok,but most of the time the card has to be married to the digibox.
good luck

Dave is right, the card has to be married to the box. Write down the information in the system details page and tell them to your cousin in Italy. Get him to ring Sky.Your cousin will have to pretend to be you so make sure he knows everything he has to! Tell him that if the Sky representative asks you do not have a phone and therefore do not have the box attached to the phone line. An activation signal will then be sent from the satellite to your card. Make sure you have the card in the decoder and the decoder switched on. Turn on Sky Assist channel. Good luck,
D.
