You cant get a sky card chipped. you should still get the free channels with

your card, providing you have a big enough dish to receive the 2D footprint.

You could subscribe with an address in the uk.

No, you have to have a subscription, Sky uses a secure encryption system.

If this is not an option, then I can only suggest that you subscribe to a local provider.
