How would that help us to get a subscription?

Maybe it would be easier to get a bank account and address in Malta?

No idea, but I can hardly keep up with my local bank monthly charges so I will give opening a bank account in Malta a miss.

All we want is a reasonably priced subscription to Sky Italia. So if anybody has any brilliant ideas about how to get it, then please post here.

If any of our site sponsors can oblige, then they are welcome to offer such a subscription at a reasonable cost. There are quite few members who might be interested.

Calling SKY Italia from outside Italy isn't that risky ? Further on the biggest problem is for people to find a SERIOUS dealer.
Right on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the offer saemoenl. :)
I am not residing in the UK, so unfortunately I can't help you to do things from the UK.
You are welcome to give more details about the cost of Sky Italia Mondo+Cinema + Classica option, including the receiver.:)

FYI,
Sky TG24 and Sky Meteo24 are no longer free-to-air!
This morning they were scrambled in Videoguard and are now available only to Sky Italia subscribers.
Also the price of your Sky Italia sub will be taking a nasty €4 - €5 rise p.m from January! This is due to the Italian Government doubling the rate of IVA (VAT) on satellite subscriptions from 10% to 20%.
regards
D.

Any more info?

Surely there must be someone out there who has a contact for a card at a reasonable price.

I will try from here ( Cyrpus ) and see how the subs are.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but Im just wondering why would you want to pay for a subscription that costs more than Sky Digital's at €51 for Mondo, Sport and Cinema? Also what are the Calcio channels?

EDIT: The translations of Mondo and Calcio are quite _http://freetranslation.com

I've compared quality of the same HD channels offered by SKY and other operators. Visually, SKY channels have much better resolution, and less blockness.

Personally I like one channel from it - MTV GOLD, but

1. It's quality is very bad (352x576)
2. Even the basic package price, to which this channel belongs, is too high for 1 channel.

Why? Because I don't have the privilege of being able to subscribe to Sky UK (some people might say: lucky you), and so I am looking for a package that I can enjoy in Israel.
I don't need sport of football, so just the Mondo + Cinema would have worked well for me.
But this package is problematic because of the need to match card+receiver, also you run into the risk of your card becoming non functional if the provider finds out that the card is working outside Italy.
The price outside Italy is quite expensive.
No package is worth 15% more than the cost in the respective country. Unfortunately some people are willing to pay as much as the shop asks and so keep the price always high.

No need to worry about matching card and receiver m8, a sky italia card will work in any sky italia box, even for premium channels.
And they'll never find out you're in Israel unless you tell them!

How do you come to the conclusion that Sky UK is cheaper???? 6 mixes with Sports and Movies costs me €69.50 pm.
Calcio channels are football ppv channels but also come as an extra package on their own for around €15 extra pm.

The basic channel price is €16.37 pm (soon to rise to €19.99 pm) which I don't believe is too high. This is for any two Sky Italia mixes plus the news mix free. Pretty good value in this day and age me thinks.
