[QUOTE="xerxes, post: 36629, member: 176073"] No matter who you speak to at SKY or what argument you use you will be told it is [U]impossible[/U] to have Sky Plus without being connected to a phone line. I, however, have never found any posting on any forum from anybody who has actually failed to get Sky Plus activated when not connected to a telephone line - [U]everyone[/U] has succeeded. Apart from me - but then I decided in the end that not only did I not want SKY Plus, I didn't even want SKY, and have gone the Free2View path instead. I reckon in a couple of years things will be looking very different for SKY. Their UK customer base will be threatened by the explosive growth of Freeview (gaining over 1 million customers a year at the moment). Most popular TV shows and films can be got on DVD (which you can rent over the internet here in Germany, 4 per month for a cost of 10 euros). And of course, DVD writers and hard-disk PVRs are set to fall drastically in price over the next year or so. Can it be long before SKY will be offering SKy Plus as their standard digibox, without any additional charges for its use, and without any absurd requirement for it to be connected to a telephone line?
