The DIY connection is that I recently aquired a Sky dish and digibox from an emigrating (or more accurately repatriating) French family. This I have fitted/setup with help from this group.
My question:
I am obviously now a Sky user, who is unknown to Sky! I understand that after a certain period, the viewing capability of the current card will elapse (or be curtailed by Sky). The previous owner had been a subscriber but cancelled the paid subscription prior to leaving.
Does anyone know how long these cards will function after cancellation of subscription service? Can I get a perpetual viewing card from Sky, even though they don't "know" me? Is there a less "official" work around to maintain service?
TIA
Phil
