I am looking into the cs thing now that n3 is taking hold. My question is how do you get around the sly box having to be connected to the phone line?
 
Simple ....its a scam it doesn't need to be connected to the phone line
 
Hows that then m8? When I was a sly subscriber many moons ago I used to receive letters from them telling me to plug it in.
 
You only need it connected to a phone line if you have multiroom mate.
 
looking to get the half price hd deal. States in the terms 12 months connected to telephone line. Is there a way around this?
 
Yes, you can pay a £25 fee for manual installation.
 
dont pay dont think you need to?
aint the phone line to actiavte your card a lil quicker?
and if you order pay per view movies or all them red button comps or stuff?
might be wrong

btw i have a vermin phone line not BT

I just remember (although going back about 8 years or so) sky writing to me to say that my box isnt connected to phone line and they would charge me higher subscription if I didn't re-connect it (for sky+ subs at the time). Just wanna make sure this wouldn't happen this time ( or my m8's might get pissed off if they keep losing their tv with me removing card to put into sly box lol)
 
ive had me sky since aug last yr never had it connected to phone line... never had letter or anything
mabey dont care about not being connected to phone line anymore
sure some otha guys will have better info.
i thought 25 was if u aint got a BT line
even thou you cud get away without bt line

didnt you need phoneline connected for sky+ to allow it to record or something?
 
I got the sky offer before xmas, just put on your order that you'll get a phone line within 6 weeks, they will then bill you £25 if you don't have one after this.
 
thanks for help guys. Think I'll go for it. Whats the worst they can do?
 
Have had Sky for 10 years and it was never ever connected to a phoneline.:proud:
 
You only need to plug it in if you have Sky Multiroom (otherwise you could give your mate your multiroom box & card & he would get the full sky package for a tenner a month).

The phone line tells Sky that both boxes are plugged in at your home address.
 
It's mainly for the sly interactive etc and maybe the updates but not sure on that one.
I had mine installed where there was no telephone socket,i said i was having one put it but i never did,never heard from sly with regards to this.
