Hardware for Sky reception via cable

• If you want to receive Sky from your cable provider, you definitely need a special receiving device, a so-called receiver. This must support the standard DVB-C.
• Such a receiver is already integrated in many current TV sets. If you do not yet have digital reception, ask your cable provider for a suitable receiver.
• A CI + module is plugged into the receiver. You will also receive this from your cable provider so that Sky can be activated for you. If you already have a CI + module, Sky can also be activated later.
