fairweather camper Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi Yes you can use your sky box abroad, but one box one card you cannot mix and match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix Meanderer Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi Deborah and welcome to this forum. The sky box/card issue has been covered many times on this forum. Rather than going over old ground could I tactfully suggest that you use the search forum facility to read through the many posts on this topic. Ther eis also very good information on the Roadpro site www.roadpro.co.uk. There is a range of advice in the "Tech Tips" satellite TV section at: https://www.roadpro.co.uk/retail/tech_tips.aspx Also good advice on the current reception satellite footprints (they will change next month). Hope this helps. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike88 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 You probably won't be able to receive UK TV abroad shortly (except for Northern France ) as the new satellite Astra 2E is about to be commissioned and will focus a tighter beam over the UK.

colin Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 We've got a old Pace DS430N that has been converted for 12v, a benefit of this is that it's hidden out of way and connected with a 'magic eye' to take remote signals. p.s. we only use it for fta stations.

davanne Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 My sky card works at home and in my 12v pace box in the motorhome the only channels you can't get are sport and movies but I don't have those anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deborahbrook Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for all help, new to forum, will try snd look through. Deborah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike88 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Further to my earlier post (which nobody has picked up on) concerning the likliehood of not being able to receive UK TV abroad very soon I suggest you read this thread here: http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/SAT-TV-portable-for-use-in-France-any-info-please-/33268/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero boy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 ......bit for a Sky subscriber the Premium channels of Sports and Movies may well be as available as they are now as they are staying on the PanEuropean beam. Its the standard UK traditional channels of BBC and ITV etc that are going to be difficult if not impossible to pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original poster was talking about an old sky box so presumably will not have a paired card meaning the premium channels will not be available to her.
