can you get a Sky box that works on 12volts ( so I can use it in a camper
van) or do I have to use an inverter to get 240volt AC

I believe the only redeeming feature of the Sky minibox is that it
comes with an external 12v psu.

I sound like I know what I'm talking about, but don't
be fooled.

Indeed. A caravan is about the only place that I would use one.

The Sky "javelin" Pace minibox comes with a 12v power cord and a separate
240/12v power supply so you can fit it in a caravan, motorhome or run it
off a car battery. It is truly tiny so it will fit in a small space (but
leave room for ventilation while it's operating).

All very well, but how would you obtain a card for it?
I mean, you wouldn't want to subscribe for a year just to keep you
entertained on the odd weekend now.
