As much as that?

All I know is it was no greater than 24 hours - and appeared to have
happened overnight.

All call-backs are generally implemented overnight (I suspect that
this is part of the agreement Sky have made with the telecom operator
so as to use excess night-time capacity).

Seems reasonable/sensible.

If I had programmed this I would have gone for a 1 hour window for
both calls, with repeats until successful.

I would probably have done something similar. However I switched off
one box this summer holiday since the children were away for six weeks
- keeping it connected to a working telephone line in line with the
conditions of the mirror sub (:-)).

The other box (at that property) was on and was the one I used. I
haven't had a letter yet.

The letter seems to take about 2 - 3 months to arrive. This might
suggest that call-backs are once a month and that one missed one
doesn't ring any alarm bells.
