Title: Sky TV annoying reminder message
Post by: Miss Demeanour on October 02, 2009, 03:29:51 PM: For those of you that have Sky TV are you getting a prompt every bloody hour or so to say that you will be sent a new viewing card shortly evil:

I know they are meant to be changing these over by the end of October but as they are sending them in the post I am presuming the message will only disappear once you have upgraded your card.

Bloody irritating evil:

Or is it just me rubschin:

Post by: Snoopy on October 03, 2009, 06:56:40 PM: Yeah ~ her and all the other ex-pats living out there.

I know of at least one person who rents their villa out and tells people to take their Sky Card with them. She tells me it is common practice among villa owners.
