If you took the subsidised box it had to connect it to the phone line for the first year - I think if you did not comply you would have to pay the full price for the box. There are two reasons for the connection, one to monitor what you watch, the other (probably more important to Sky) is so that you can puchase pay per view content. Anyway as this is totally OT I suggest you search on google, or ask in a sky forum.
