This is totally incorrect as I subscribe to Sky and do not have a telephone connection to the box. You state this as a fact after telling us you KNOW all about the subject and yet if you are wrong about tis what else might you be wrong about?

Last time I tried to get sky (couple of years back), and knowing from others who subscibe to service, it 'was' a requirement. Would need to check if has subsequently changed then. Either way, that was their reason and intention. Why else would there there be a need to faciliaite a two-way connection to a satellite box? Curious to know if they have ditched this or have some technological improvement to facilitate this another way, as they would need to 'see' what the viewer is doing for business justification surely?
