I can back this up as I had this very issue when I upgrade from Sky to Sky+ (as a result of moving house too).

Initially we had no way of connecting the box to the master socket and getting a slave terminal installed involved listed buildings permission...and so it dragged on for several months. They _were_ persistant, but I was patient and after 12 months they stopped asking

After reading the PR man's postings I have come to the conclusion that Ad people talk a different language completely to the one I am familiar with. I believe it has to do with the focus of your intent.

As a techie, my language is usually straightfoward and (hopefully) succinct which reflects my intentions.

My observations of ad-people-speak is that their language is evasive, manipulative and wordy to the point of obfuscation, which I believe is a measure of _their_ intentions.
