Hi all,I was thinking of buying one of the portable satelite kits for the caravan but before I bought one I rang sky to ask if I could either take my sky box and use that or use my card in a new box which comes with the kit to which they say I have to have a new subscription if I take my own box to my caravan or any other is this true or is there ways and means?
ps seems stupid and money making if you cannot use your own card as only one group of people can watch at a time.

we had fun we we registered our ondigital box (now set top boxes dont need to be registered) giving our name and address the lady said there is no coverage at that postcode,i remarked were not at that post code ,she asked if we've moved why arn't we using the new postcode?
we replied that we live at the given postcode but the box isn't there.she asked where it was right now and i said at the postcode but at the weekend will be at another maybe 2.
she asked if we were taking the pee?
we relied the person with the box lived at the postcode but the box was in a camper so had lots of postcodes.
she went silent for a while then activated it ,obviasly her brain had gone into overload
the box still doesent work at the postcode but its far smaller modern version now resides under canvas at several postcodes
those thinking of getting a sat kit from lidl or aldi etc should remember you wont get sky subscription programs on the cheap versions there is no card slot ,sky digi boxes will work but are not meant for moving about so the setting up really needs a sat finder to get good results and there are a few satellites out there to confuse you.
saying that we have several sats on our motorised system at home (lidl) so have no need of mr murdochs draconian way of doing things
I've got one and don't use it because it's quicker and easier to use a compass. Point the dish due East and slowly (very slowly) turn tte dish southwards until you get a signal. Astra 2 (sky) is the first satellite you come to.
Thanks Tyreman I have seen his web sight [looks good] and will I am going to read it all cheers for the advice. I have bought the dish so here goes fingers crossed
p.s is astra 2 the best satellite to point to?
