I always wondered, does the box dialup for software upgrades or do Sky ring your home line with a special code that makes the Sky Boxe's Modem kick straight in?
They send a signal to your box via satelite to get your box to dial a number.... they never answer the call (hence it never appears on your bill) but they use caller ID for it....

I hope they dial the prefix then, since callerid is disabled on many lines (inc mine). It's also not available everywhere, so how do those work I wonder.
