But what happens if Sky does a check and finds the box is not connected to a phone line? Do they then switch the card off? Catwoman

Yes, OK, but that still means cables, extra socket, extra phone, extra costs. Can the people at Sky realistically expect people to do this? And this is probably a dumb question but if you have 2 Sky boxes connected to the same phone line, can they really tell that both are connected? Catwoman

I was afraid of that :-(. So it doesn't matter if the first sub is more than 12 months old then? I wonder what happens with people who don't have a 2nd phone line and don't want to install one. Catwoman

Hi all, Is it possible for someone in the UK - who already has a Sky+ subscription for more than 12 months - to take out a new (2nd) Sky+ subscription on a 160 gig box and still keep the old Sky+ box for use in "another room"? Does it still have to be connected to a phone line? The idea of...

Now that's an idea. Thanks! Catwoman

I have the possibility to buy the Sky+ box in the UK and bring it over to NL, where I live. My brother was in a Dixons branch the other week and made some enquiries for me. They would be willing to sell me the box without installation, and I have an installer over here. I've had a sat setup...

Well, that might be a bit difficult since I don't live in the U.K. Catwoman

Does this mean that you can't use any DVD recorder with hard drive to record programs from Sky and can only use the Sky+ box? The contract conditions you quote talk about the installation being done by Sky. What happens if you buy a Sky+ box from somewhere like Dixons and install it yourself...

Does anyone know if it's possible to use any DVD recorder with hard disk to record programs from Sky or is it only possible with a Sky+ box? I live outside of the UK and Sky+ doesn't seem to be an option for me due to it "calling home". I presently have a Sky FTV card with a Sony digibox (not...

Does anyone know if there is a problem paying a Sky subscription through direct debit from an "offshore" UK bank account in Jersey or the IOM? As a UK national living elswhere in Europe I've been told that I cannot open a bank account in the UK mainland, but I can open an offshore account. My...
