Moving Sky box

    Friends are moving to Denmark soon and have a Sky+ and multiroom set up here in Ireland. They are keeping their house here in Ireland so are thinking of hanging on to the Sky account too.
    Will they be able to bring one of the boxes with them and hook it up to a dish in Denmark and then get the regular Sky service?
    Failing that I presume they can use Windows Media Center Sky Player or just the web version to watch some stuff or is that geo locked to an Irish / UK IP address?

    They'd need quite a large dish, and I'd imagine they wouldn't get BBC

    Yes from doing a bit of research it looks like there are companies in Denmark that will set up a Sky system for them but it looks like a large dish is needed - up to 180cm I think.

    Maybe they need to contact someone over there to get the low down as they are not too techie minded and I think a self install might be out of their comfort zone
