Hello.

A few years back when I had problems with my Sky, I spotted an advert in the Sixth Sense paper of someone who worked over here as a Sky technician. He had a German mobile number so you could contact him.

Is there any chance that either a) someone knows who this guy is and could pass on his details or b) could someone have a look in the classifieds of the Sixth Sense paper and pass on the details.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome

And thanks about the linkage to the thread, some very handy info.

Still, I'd prefer if someone could help out with my original request as the guy is very reliable, having dealt with him a while back.

Thanks anyway though DozyBint, much appreicated

Will pick up the afore mentioned newspaper and have a browse for you and post any information I find on here.

Great, thanks

Just had a look in the paper no contact details for your sky man - Sorry.

Okay, thanks for looking.

I've only got the details re Sky in Belgium for Xpats and checked it if he would do the rest of Europe but sadly there's no mention of this only for Belgium - shame as I would have recommended them! (i'm an xpat of Belgium now)

The sky guy that used to advertise in the 6th sense hasn't done so for at least a year now, that's how long I've been looking out for him...

Hi, I moved to Germany only 8 months ago & already had Sky in the UK, so I brought the dish & box with me & just re-registered it to my parents address (who also have Sky). They were fine with it just made up some story that we were leaving the Army & moving in the with the folks until we were sorted.... no problems & none since. Had a great neighbour who had a satelite finder & we put it up ourselves & alls ok..
All the best on your move
Whoopsy

hey, just arrived in Fally and really really need sky! does anyone know how we can can get it as we lic#ve in a hiring off base and obviously want UK sky not German!

Hi Katy,

I was in Fally and as far as I am aware you can get a box from your estate warden that picks up some english channels for free. Or you can go into the SSVC or NAAFI and see if they have a deal for SKY going failing that have a look on the various notice boards in Fally and Hohne there was a chap who was setting SKY up or have a look in the FREE Heide mag which can be picked up in the NAAFI, Hive, SSO's and Med Centre.

Hope this helps

[align=center]Hi all,
we used to be with a company called SKY-SAT (out the sixth sense) and they just asked us for 150 euros, yearly connection fee..... Which I think I way too much.
Just wondered if anybody knows of any other company and prices?
We havnt got a address in the UK we could use, so this is the only way for us.
Ta ta in advance [/align]

Hello better half,

we have phoned sky direct and gave them the address in Mill Hill.They were happy with that, just one thing now i have heard that it is not Mill Hilll anymore, so all you have to find out is what the new address is and make sure that your BFPO ( was 30 or 36, had some cant really remember) comes up in the address and you should be fine.
When you have had sky through the other company how much did you pay, we pay 37 pounds a month.
