    FIVE in Greece

    OK That makes sense now. Both my neighbour and I have cards registered in the Midlands which therefore would not allow us to 'see' 105. Thanks for the super fast replies from everyone.

    FIVE in Greece

    Thanks Ralph. I have done the hard reboot but it made no difference. As I do not have a subscription I can't get 106 (Sky 1) or 107 (Sky 2) I have the new white card for the free channels. The other people I mention have the exact same card and a Sky digibox but can press 105 and get FIVE. If I...

    FIVE in Greece

    Thanks for all your ideas. We all have viewing cards so that is not the answer. The regional thing sounds feasible but don't all the cards come from the same place? Or does it depend where the activation is done from (obviously through a third person for those of us living outside the UK) And...

    FIVE in Greece

    Good morning all. Here's a poser for you. I live in Greece and since early last year I believe it was FIVE was no longer available by punching in'105' or selecting from the TV guide. I had to add it and now get it through 'other channels'. No problem with this. My neighbour down the road also...

    Sky Card swap out - Probably bad news for Dreambox users

    Hello all. I am in Greece and I receive all the usual free stuff with my Sky box and Yellow House card. Will this card swap make any difference to me? Will I have to do anything to keep on receiving the very little UK TV I get now? I also have a Dutch CanalSat system with the minimal channels...

    Adding SKY to Dutch system in Greece!!

    I hope this is the right section for this and that maybe someone can help me. I live in Southern Greece and have a 1.2m dish with a SKY box and non-subscription viewing card. I am going to be moving to a house that has a dish and receiver already installed. This is a Dutch system and the card...

    sky card inactive can I reactivate it?

    Sorry to butt in here but my card suddenly stopped working today. Will it re-activate if I leave it in the slot? Or do I have to cough up more money? Thanks 600

    Solus cards

    Thanks to all for help. I ordered my new card online with no problem. I'm not too happy about my old card being instantly cut off though. My money's been taken and I can't watch 4 or 5. Is there anywhere to complain about this? 600 (in Greece)

    Solus cards

    I have the same concerns as Sam as I live in Greece. I currently have the old BBC card which I had to register to an address in the UK and activate before leaving. Will I be able to get a card to use here and does it have to be married to my Sky box? Thanks 600 in Greece

    Should I throw away my satellite system and take intensive Greek lessons?

    johnfallen I think you're missing the point here M8! See, I'm English but I live in Greece and I'm losing all the UK TV because of the satellite change so all I'll have is Greek TV. Are you with me so far? Well Greek TV broadcasts mainly in Greek!! But I'm afraid my Greek isn't that good yet! As...

    Should I throw away my satellite system and take intensive Greek lessons?

    Am I right in thinking that in a few weeks I won't be able to pick up anything decent here in Southern Greece? The messages that I got a few days ago saying that I'm about to lose channels 4,5 and Sky news have stopped but will I get anything worth watching? I bought my system before I left the...

    FTV cards switching off

    I'm in southern Greece. I started getting the message today on channels 4, 5 and Sky News all the time, very annoying but I've been watching 'Key Largo' on TCM for an hour or so with no sign of the message there. Looks like its good old Greek TV for me. Must get studying! 600
