    Hi there,

    My mum and dad have a southern Sky box so that we get all the Hurling matches with RTE in the right location etc.

    I have just bought a house and now I'm lookign for a southern box with expired card.

    If anyone has one for sale drop me a PM. I have dual cable so Sky+ is preferrable.

    Cheers!

    You will need a box with an active Irish subscription as the RTE channels are not free to air on Sky.

    I was told that but thought it must be wrong.

    I have an old UK box that the subscription died on years ago and I get BBC, ITV etc so I assumed the same would be true in the 26 counties.

    What's a "Southern Sky Box" ?

    EDIT: Just spotted the odd reference to this country so think I get it now.

    There is no Irish Sky box; all Sky boxes are the same, giving the UK EPG when there's no card/subscription.

    You need a Republic of Ireland subscription for the EPG to go "Irish"
