As it happens, that's not possible, but let's not crucify him for wanting to connect unsubscribed equipment when it's no more serious than attaching your telly direct to the cable to get the free analogue channels, or altering your cable lengths with DIY equipment ... neither of which are allowed by VM's T&Cs, but both of which are regularly encouraged and explained on this forum.

Don't think it's quite like that though, he dosen't want to involve VM to have this installed. You can get the freeview option via VM if you have the phone line as well, but obviously he dosen't want this either,(please correct me on that one of course). So it would seem to me, he wants someone to install a stb without subscription,without a phone line, without VM knowing on the side so he dosen't pay for ANYTHING AT ALL except the guy he want to do it for him.
So all he has to do, ring VM get phone installed, get the freeview option as well, pays for phone line and calls, dosen't pay a subscription..everyone is happy.
Call me cynical but....
