    To get it to work fully, you have to subscribe to the dreaded Sky i'm afraid.

    If its going to cost you £50 or more, that why don't you let sky do a "move" for you. I think its about £50 they charge.
    They will come around & fit the new LNB & the extra cable for that.
    Your box works with your card ONLY.

    Cheers. That sounds decent enough. What happens when we move back `home` again. Do we pay another £50 moving fee, and also does the landlord then have to pay a reconnection fee??

    cheers for the advice, lots to sort out:confused:

    When you "move" you just unplug the box & go, leaving the leads in place. So when you move back, all you will have to do is plug it in.
