Sky cards are not transferable.

You can get them in Spain but they are expensive and a bit dodgy as Sky cannot officially permit the use of Sky outside of the UK & Ireland.

Best way to get one is to either do it yourself using a UK mobile in Spain or get someone in UK pretending to be you, in either case you will need to use a UK address. Cost is £20. Did this myself

You will need to activate the card in the Sky box you want to use to get the full benefit of the card, if you do it in Spain, only call Sky with a UK based mobile as they will now where you are and lock down the card.

Best of luck

Thanks for the information. I thought you just bought one and slotted it in. I will try what you suggested.

Peter, are you permanently in Spain and have you just moved or are you spending time between the UK and Spain?  

The reason I ask is that we thought a Sky Freeview card was something special and I almost bought one for €100 until someone told me that I could use the card which I had had in the UK.  It was the one I had used when I had a full account but when you close the account they take off all the pay channels and you are left with the free to view channels.  So all I had to do was pull my old card out of my wallet and not €100.

Hope this helps.
