[QUOTE="Flipit, post: 624746, member: 185301"] Sorry to bump the threat, if I posted in the wrong place my apologies, but it seemed like the right place to ask. I'm looking for up-to-date info on changing a Sky subscription to Sky+ from abroad, with no phone line. There are various discussions on forums that date back to 2005, but nothing conclusive that is current. Reading between the lines I think Sky changed their minds somewhere around 2007 and now allow upgrades to be done without a phone line for some nominal fee (25 GBP ?) if you just call them with the card and box id. I'm not talking about any Sky discount deals here or multiroom which I know must have phone line. I'm just inquiring about buying the box direct from a dealer, phoning sky on a uk mobile and asking them to marry the existing card (uk address) with the new box and activate Sky+. Slightly off topic - Since I'm buying the box direct from a dealer, I figured I may as well spend the extra now and by an HD box - PACE TDS850NB then at some future point I can then upgrade the Sky+ to Sky HD. Q1. Is this a good box for fringe reception (southern spain)? Q2. Can I use the HD box as a standard Sky+ box without getting my subscription upgraded to Sky HD ? Many thanks Flipit [/QUOTE]
