After reading many reports on this and other forums that it is possible to activate sky+ box abroad without telephone line I decided to take the plunge and risk it unfortunately it didn’t work.
My box arrived I set it up and took out the card from my old box and put it in sky+(pace Mk.2), my contact in UK called sky to activate the card in the new box but they wouldn’t budge telephone line is required! I asked him to call sky again and make it clear to them box is bought second hand from independent satellite dealer and that my old box was bought without interactive discount and worked happily without phoneline from ’98 but still no luck! He also told them he’s not interested in box office and interactive services that require phoneline.
I have full sky world subscription with FilmFour and no mirror sub on the contract.
Could any of you who managed to activate sky+ abroad without phoneline describe in detail exactly how you did it. Any info greatly appreciated.
