A couple of questions:-

1)  Via goggle I've found a UK post box company which provides a UK PO Box address, and then can forward mail onto you here in Spain.

Would using a post box number address like this be acceptable to Sky, for opening an account and recieving a card?

 

2) Almost 2 years ago I started a Sky TV contract, for several TV packages (via a sat TV company just N of Benidorm, but they seem to have disappeared/returned to UK or something, and I'm unable to contact them (so don't know my sky account details)).  After 12 months the card sort-of deactivated, with me lossing most of the sky packages but continuing to work for the basic varity pack ( the amount of the direct debits from my bank a/c also droped/changed to reflect this change). I am assuming that my old card will eventually time-out (when a new style card is sent out to.....), but one of the previous posts mentioned about the sky contract only lasting 1 year as if after that you slip off Sky's radar (athough they're still taking money for the basic varity pack).  Any chance that if I sit and do nothing the old card will continue to work?   (Ever the optomist!)

I've a similar problem, having previously aquired a sky subscription in Spain via a third party (who has now moved/gone missing/out of bussiness) and so don't know what UK address/details he used to create the subscription and won't be recieving the new sky card, although Sky will still be taking money from my UK bank account.  So how did you go about cancelling your subscription without appearing an idiot (who doesn't know his name/address), or admitting you're in Spain ?
