Caravan satellite

We have a static caravan with very poor internet, 1bar if we are lucky! If I install a dish and bring my sky box and card, will this work? I don't believe you can mirror from sky go

If, and it's a big if, your static caravan has its own unique postal address you'll be able to take out a second subscription with all the relevant cost implications and a new box (and viewing card) will be provided so long as a dish can be erected to Skys standards.

Your Sky box/viewing card can only be used at your normal full time address as per the T's and C's.

Re: Caravan satellite

Any idea how much they charge for an extra card?

You don't get "an additional card" only, you have to take out a whole additional account.

@Itb Sky go does not allow casting of any description you could if your Ipad has a HDMI out connect your Ipad to the TV by HDMI and watch Sky go that way

I believe Go on tablet and phone blocks cabled HDMI output.  It's permitted from computer, laptop and games console / Apple TV box (the latter two requiring Sky Go Extra)
