After 12 months you dont need any phone line. it is the veiwing card that controlls what channels decription works. If you have the right credit cards you can get the sky+ box and dish and installation for Half price. Once your on your second month, you can change the selected package to anything but you must continue paying for a package for 12 months, after that Sky have to Provide the Freeview viewing cards and you keep the dish and box. secondly due to the LNBs only allowing Four connections, each dish can only support up 2 Sky+ Boxes, or 4 normall freeveiw Satboxes, when you get sky each viewing card is encoded to each box. Sky controll that at their end . I've moved FROM Exeter to Bournemouth but still get the local channels from Exeter and have multi room active with no phone line at all.

Any sky techs know?

just dials out a freephone number at night time. itemised bills require specific request to display these numbers
