Moving house problem

[Crawfj10]

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.

Thanks Annie, really appreciate your help

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
