Our Sky+ box came from a wholesaler just like any box for sale to the public. The signal is sent to the box via satellite and stored on the card not in the box hardware.
Sky can tell if your box has phoned home, I would guess that as a phone connection is a contractual requirement, the proceedure for activating the recording features on the card involves a check to ensure the box has already phoned sky.
As I said before it is technically possible to activate the recording features without a phone connection but CS are unlikely to do it.
