Pay the full price, unless you connect it to your phone line, they will turn it off. There are no other options.

Invite your brother to live with you. That way he can use your phone line. I assume his residence is too far away to run an extension phone connection!

simply choose one of the options that doesnt involve having it connected to the phoneline, they start from 12.50 a month i think

Just tell them that the second box is in the annexe and there is no way to get a phone there, or you cannot trust the kids with having a phone line connected to it, they shouldn't have a problem with that, as long as you are paying full price for the sub.

The reason they do this is to stop you purchasing a full subscription and then having a second mirror card and receiver, which you might then take down to the pub or a neighbours house and allow them to watch for free (or even charge them a reduced subscription for it). Thats why it has to be tied to the phone line.

do as i did when they call

your rebuilding and theres no physical way of running a 12 metre cable to phone socket .
when asked for how long , just go on about shoddy builders , cowboys , etc .
