[QUOTE="wallycharlo, post: 438381, member: 186024"] Hi guys, I have regular Sky and am thinking about updating to one of the HD boxes as I just bougth a HD TV. I see some good offers for new boxes on that famous auction site, and I'm just wondering about the activation of the box. I live in Austria, but have an Irish address, so I can get the box shipped to Ireland and collect it next time I am there. My plan would then be to bring the box over to Austria, stick my current card into it, then call Sky (with my caller ID hidden of course) and ask them to pair my card to the new box. And I was thinking that would be that. But since then I am hearing that the box *must* be connected to a UK/ROI phone line in order for it to be activated ?? Is this really the case ? I though that all activation etc was done over-the-air? Since I'm in Austria I clearly cant connect to a UK/ROI phone line. Many thanks for any assistance! [/QUOTE]
