Hey Paul,

Have you considered purchasing a satellite receiver that will take a Sky
card?  Go to your favourite search engine and look for 12v satellite sky
and you will find a few places in NZ that will supply them.

I've got a 12v Satellite STB in my bus and it works fine.  I didn't get one
with Sky, but you should just be able to take the card out of your decoder
at home and put it in the camper.
