Sky Direct is a direct-broadcast satellite television subscription in the Philippines. If you run out of watching minutes during a show, you could be left with a horrible cliffhanger as your TV feed cuts out in the middle of it. This wikiHow will show you how to load your Sky Direct box with a prepaid card, your SIM card, and from the GCASH mobile app.

Steps

Using a Prepaid Card or e-PIN

Turn on your Sky Direct box. If your Sky Direct Digibox is off, you'll most likely encounter an error or delay in this process.

Text SKYLOAD BOXID PIN to 23667. You'll replace BOXID with your Sky Direct Box ID, which you'll most likely find on top of the box. For example, you'll send SKYLOAD 87645321 1234567887654321 to 23667. You can buy prepaid cards from places like 7-Eleven, ECPay, Load Central, Load Xtreme, SM Store, Save More, SM Hypermarket, Waltermart, Alfamart, Cebuana Lhuillier, and Mini-Stop.

Respond with YES once you get a response. You'll want to confirm reloading your card. It could take up to an hour for your box to be reloaded and ready to watch, but should normally be a few minutes.
