Moving house problem

Hi, I'm moving house in a couple of days.  I've been trying repeatedly to register the move through the 'Moving Home' section of the Sky website,  but every time I put in the postcode details the site comes back with an error message and a note to come back later.

The postcode is correct as my son has tried it from his Sky account,  all fine there.

My move is simple - I have Sky+ now and wish to have the same set up in my new home (lots of reasons for this, I know the benefits of Sky Q and the various other systems), with my existing set top box.   There is a working Sky dish at the new property.

All I want to do is tell Sky about my new address but because of the problems above, this is currently impossible.  I can't find a number to call on the website.

Can anyone offer any advice please?

Many thanks

You can simply change your address, without carrying out a home move. We can help arrange that for you by asking Sky's messaging team to contact you here via a private online chat to do that, if you wish.

 

However, if the previous occupants had Sky Q, the dish won't be compatible with Sky+ and you'll need an engineer to change the LNB on the arm of the dish for you. I doubt Sky will do that, as they no longer provide engineer support for Sky+ subscribers. If so, you would need to get a local installer to change it for you.

 

The alternative would be to upgrade to Sky Q.

Hi Mark,

Huge thanks for your very quick reply.

Yes we already have a local installer visiting the new property this Friday to check the dish is compatible with Sky+

So yes, all I would like to do is to update Sky with my new address details,  if it's possible for you to send me a link to Sky's messaging team, that would be fantastically helpful.

Thanks again
