No you would have to get someone with an Irish address (preferably a NI one so you would have all the UK channels as well) to subscribe to Sky Family pack (or higher) and then bring both the card and box over to Germany and plug it into a dish (pointed at 28 degrees East not the German 19 deg East slot)) at your home

You would also need to buy an unsubsidised box (since $ky require you to keep the box connected to a telephone landline for a year in order to avail of cheap install offers)

And if you live in the East or South of Germany youre probably out of the Astra 2D footprint unless you have a huge dish (which your local planning authority probably wont like)

In short its a lot of hasstle just for the sake of Plank Kenny

The good news though is RTE radio is free to air
