[QUOTE="Car, post: 776786, member: 72474"] While BT don't have the rights for Germany, it actually is legal to watch pay TV from one EU country in another: [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17150054[/url] If you search for the case, you'll find more about it. But you'll need 1) a satellite dish pointed at 28° East (where the British channels are) For the pay channels, any normal dish size should be fine in most of Germany, it s more complicated for the free channels. But Bee, you are in Düsseldorf, right? You shouldn't have any problems with the BBC et al. either. 2) a Skybox. Those can be bought through eBay etc. Important: You can only get BT through Sky if you're abroad and you can't use those Skyboxes that come with a Sky subscription. 3) You either need someone in the UK or a reseller to get you the subscription. Resellers make it even more expensive and many aren't reliable. Resellers for Sky UK/RoI make you use your own credit card, so there's the risk that they keep on billing you while you don't receive Sky any more. If it wasn't that expensive, complicated and didn't require a Skybox, I'd already have a subscription by now, but I really don't know any reliable resellers and no-one in the UK either. I already receive the Freesat channels, so at least I can get the BBC et al. (although I'd actually have some more adjustments for 24/7 reception of Channel 4 and sometimes ITV...). In the past, it was at least easy to get prepaid cards for Sky Italy and they had a decent rugby coverage, but not any more. So I'm stuck with packages that mostly show football (which I still like, but not as much). [/QUOTE]
