[QUOTE="geoffreys, post: 181831, member: 176167"] Hi Yan. You have the 2 boxes (the Digibox + the HD box), each with it's own card. They are both billed to your existing a/c. The HD card will be sent to your UK address, then you bring it out or have it posted out. As you would be paying for the HD box (£299) there is no obligation to have a phone line connected - but for SKY's 'records' about you etc you give them your UK phone number, even if you don't (which you won't be!) connecting it to either box. You won't want a SKY installer coming round to the UK address either - so when you order the HD box tell them you have your own installer. Shouldn't be a problem. If you are in UK even easier. Let him come and install it; then disconnect it and hand-carry it out to sunny (yipee!) Cyprus. SKY are not daft! They know there are 1000s of us expats tuning in. They don't care PROVIDED you do not tell them. If you tell them you are in Cyprus, Costas, wherever outside UK, then they have no option but to cancel your sub and switch the card off. Remember, the revenue from expat's subs (that they think is in UK, but don't wanna know about) is very considerable, and they are in business to make money. SKY staff take holidays around the EU etc, they see SKY being shown in bars etc. Good Luck, Geoff [/QUOTE]
