Hi guys , thanks for help in previous thread, i have managed to purchase from ebay a sky yellow house card.
put into slot and powered up box. this as you all said has brought up channel 4 but not channel 5??
also the bbc and itv regions have changed from my local to further afield. can i change this?
also the full channel list does not show up but channels are visible in seperate sections.
any ideas???

No the regional variations are set by Sky and the Post Code where the original user lived

If you want the lopcal versions you will need to buy a FreeSatFromSky card from Sky for 20 quid. They will not reset the tv regions on an existing card.

You can get any BBC/ITV region. the BBC regions start at channel 971 and you can tune in the ITV regions using other channels in the sky menus. Out of interest how much did you pay on ebay for the sky card??
