Pay TV services on SKY Italia are encrypted in NDS Videoguard. The provided Videoguard decoders are identical to the Digibox used in the UK. PACE, Amstrad and Thomson, all Digibox licencsors, produce SKY Italia boxes (SKYBOX) identical to their Digibox offerings, albeit with different branding and the potential removal of the second card slot and UHF modulator. In addition, other providers such as Samsung Electronics, Italtel and Access Media produce SKY Italia boxes but not Digiboxes.

SKY offers four types of mixing packages: Mondo, Cinema, Sport and Calcio. The first, Mondo, contains all the entertainment, music, kids, teens and culture channels and some sports channels: it's the basic mix. The Cinema package contains 9 all-movies channels. The Sport package contains SKY Sport 1, 2, 3, Extra, 16:9, Eurosport, Eurosport 2 and Yacht&Sail. The Calcio package, instead, contains 14 channels aimed at football, the most popular sport in Italy.
Some channels, (excluding the terrestrials) are able to be dubbed or captioned in English.
Sky Italia uses the Hot Bird 7A/8 satellite at 13.0°E.

[edit] New events
From October 1 2007 Sky will make a reshuffle of the Music and the Documentaries, Culture & Lifestyle sections of the EPG, also due to new channels and services. In the DCL section, Discovery Channel will be set on channel 401, becoming the "first choice" of the mix; Animal Planet, instead, will be set in the DCL mix coming from the Kids and Teens mix, changing its programmes from the child-oriented ones.
