Re: UK Sky Digital in Netherlands?
No problem whatsoever. Just dont let Sky know you are moving abroad or they will immediately cancel your sub card.

Would you need a bigger size dish or something, also what about multiroom seeing as that requires a phone line, I have got a voip with a local number will that do? also how would be the best way of paying for it? Kind Regards. Blue. |

Re: UK Sky Digital in Netherlands?
Hi, You might have a bit of a problem in poor weather with a Sky minidish, but you do not need a stupidly sized dish, as you are within the footprint of even the Astra 2D transponders (for BBC ITV etc). Depending on your exact location ( I will asume the worst) an 80cm dish should do fine.
I think the expats often pay by credit card. I think you might have problems with the multiroom though, I heard you get boxes that go on your line to hide your location from SKy, but its not really someting I have needed to look into. Robbo

Re: UK Sky Digital in Netherlands?
Forget Multiroom to begin with.
I know digibox diallers are available for Germany but I have no idea about Holland.

If that works,one could theorise that it would work in Holland. Analoguesat is usually right though.
