Sky box being connected to a phone line? Why do Sky state that yr Sky Box MUST be connected to a phone line for 12 months? What if you where getting it set up in a caravan or something obv they don have phone lines but can get Sky TV
Re: Sky box being connected to a phone line? I think they send updates for the hardware through the phoneline. We haven't had ours connected ever since getting one of those fake phoneline boxes with a battery that let you get all the box office films for free We just got Sky+ too and as far as i know, the bloke never connected it to the phone line. I may have to double check that though, it slipped my mind.
Re: Re: Sky box being connected to a phone line? don't ever plug it in - you'll get a MAASSSSHHOOOOOSIVE Bill!! when i had Sky, i only had 1original digital box and the engineer said there was no need for me to have to connected. Yet, my mate who had multiroom HAD to have it connected. they'd even ring him up and ask why it wasn't plugged in! Also, alot of the firmware updates are Over The Air updates and not downloaded
Re: Re: Sky box being connected to a phone line? As soon as you exceed the £50 quid pay per view limit the box will shut down the majority of your services and tell you to contact an engineer wihich is the only way to get the box back on , as soon as you do this the engineer will connect the box to a phone line and you will be billed for all your pay per views !!!
Re: Re: Re: Sky box being connected to a phone line? Not true. We reached the limit on the card and it wouldn't work anymore. That was a few years a go now.. Everything else is fine.
Surely if your viewing cards fucked then your box is fucked. Hence not being able to view anything when the cards not in.
I never said my card was fucked. I said it reached the limit for box office views Fiddla: I'm guessing so, but I never need any PPV. I have the internet and Setanta along with whatever other Sky channels Internet > PPV
Re: Re: Sky box being connected to a phone line? it aint free mate, if u ever connect it up or get rid of it and someone else connects it up you will be fucked, i think theres a 40 quid limit on each box and they will want their money off ya
Re: Re: Re: Sky box being connected to a phone line? I think we have a new sky card now now anyway and defo a new box so all is fine
loads of other vans on site have standard sk dishes just wondered how they are getting round the telephone cable thing
