Ive got a Sky viewing card being used for FTV chans on our box, but unfortunatly its region coding is wrong as i bought the box as a second and the card was registered to another person. I have tried to get sky to change it but they dont care and just want to sell another card. Duno if anyone has another way of doing it.

I don't think that you'll be able to change the region. You can get a freesat card from Sky (for £20) which will allow you to watch the FTV channels.

Edit: Thinking a bit more about it, you have you tried informing Sky of a change of address? I know that they'll update the region for subscribers when you move, but I'm not sure about the FTV cards.

Ummm, i think i tried a change of address but as the card was not originaly registered to me they say that i will need a new card. I think mabey ile just wait still the freesat boxes come down in price a little more. Thanks

My 'rents have their Sky Card set to Scotland, but they don't live in that country

- They got a local engineer to set it up for them, I doubt they know what to do, except it can be done without involving SKY.
