    You can't copy programs, only data files. Any programs you require need to be reinstalled.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Yes you will need to download and install it again - I think it can only be installed on one PC per account, so hopefully the last to be installed wins. You will need to remember your username/password to login with.
    I presume we are talking about the same thing, as the one I have allows me to watch what we subscribe to, and I haven't had the need (or seen anywhere) to add credit.
  • yes it is the same thing. i need to pay now as I am no longer a subscriber (use Virgin now as new flat does not allow dishes!)

    I did wonder if that would happen. The only way I can see of proceeding is to contact Sky customer services, this must have happened before - presumably they can release it from their end. You may have to do a declaration that your old laptop is toast.

    I am really hoping it is possible to do this? Will PC world’s PC tech guys be able to help me with this do you think?

    If you read elsewhere on this Forum, the only thing they will help you to do is part with a lot of your money, and trash your data. Allegedly :D
