Hi I am just remembering that I could get extra channels when I used to go into the service section on sky remote can I do it this way by searching in there manually,or changing the frequinces of the channels

it doesnt matter what frequencies u change mickie nearly all the channels apart from what starbuck listed are protected by NDS so u wont be able to view them without a valid sub.

to view the ones listed just hook up reciever again and stick card in and go to the channel. if it's FTA it'll clear if not it wont.

but remember u wont get as many channels as on a free view box as to get them u need to purchase a 'free to air' card from sky for about 20 quid

unplug the sky box remove card wait 5-10mins then power back up and it should set it self to the british settings

101 bbc1
102 bbc2
103 itv and so on

The best way to get around that little issue is to have your number changed to withheld after you have your sky installed and setup, sky at present has no way to trace back which customers box sent them the data if the number is witheld (which is why they always ask if you have a witheld number when they install, so they can add the prefix to remove witheld numbers in the installer menu).

You wont have to pay for any movies ever again lol (although thats not true either, you have a max of ?50 credit limit on the card, which is more than enough for a month in skys opinion, since they expect your order info to come back to them at the end of each month, they then reset the limit, but if they don't get the info the limit will dry up pretty fast, so the above mentioned scam is really only worth ?50).

Yet a further little trick is to report your card as lost after you max the limit out (the kids lost it, dog ate it etc lol), they will send you out a new card at a cost of ?10-20 depending, but you could be looking at ?30-40 of free interactive and movies, only don't do this often as they will clock on that you did't really lose your card every month :P.

What we should do really. Is put something onto the line so that we can log what data is sent when the card is cleared. Then create that ourselves and clear the cards ourself
