Unlock a movie on Sky Select - how it works
You can unlock a film on Sky Select in three different ways: via the Internet, by phone or SMS. You just have to enter the order number and the film evening can begin. We explain how to do it.
Unlock film on Sky Select
Have your customer number, your Sky PIN and the three-digit order number of the film ready for activation.
- The classic method is activation by call: Call the corresponding telephone number, you will be guided through the order menu and only have to enter your data (customer number, Sky PIN and order number). The telephone number for Germany, costs and further details can be found here.
- If you want to avoid costs for a call, activation via the Internet is the best method. Visit the Sky Select page and log in by clicking on "Customer login". If you do not have an account, you can book a ticket via the "Cinema" menu and then create an account. Then watch the different select films. Once you have selected a film, you will be guided through the ordering process.
New: Order Sky Select directly from the receiver
You can now also unlock films directly via your receiver. However, some prerequisites must be met for this. On the one hand, you need a sky receiver that is suitable for direct ordering. In addition, your receiver must be connected to the Internet via a LAN cable and the IP configuration must be set correctly in the service menu.
- Switch to the "Sky Select" channel.
- Press the Info button on your remote control.
- Use the arrow keys on your remote control to go to "Order". Choose a genre like sports or film and choose a title on the right.
- After you have chosen the film of your choice, all you have to do is enter your Sky PIN and then confirm your order. If you then press the OK button, the corresponding sender of your order is automatically called up.
