Sky Plus(+) without subsctiption?

Question

Is it possible to buy a SKY + box off eBay replace my current SKY system with my Sky Box and put my existing Sky Viewing card in the box and then SKY PLUS will work?

Answer 1

no because your sky card is your current subscription! they give you different cards for different subs so dont waste your money buying one of ebay! anyway give sky a call and see if they can do you a deal! they normally do for existing customers especially if you have been with them a while!!

Answer 2

no....afraid not

Answer 3

When a Sky card is activated in a box it is paired (restricted to work only in that box)

To get a card paired to a different box you need to phone Sky and they can re-pair it, by sending an over-the-air command to your card.

You will need to provide them with serial numbers for the card and boxes.

I think the PVR functionality can also be enabled by Sky sending a command to your card.

Depending on your existing Sky channel  package, you may be able to get the PVR functionality enabled for no extra cost. if you are subscribed to some of the premium sport / movie channels.

Your best bet would be to phone Sky, let them know what you want to do, and see if they can help.

Nope wont work ..i agree with pinky ring sky as i got the full package with multiroom for 1 year for only £30.00 per month a HUGE saving. It may also depend on how long you have been with sky too.

I used the ( gonna cancel as too expensive and got a discount)   :-)

Give them a ring you have nothing to lose but everything to gain..
