Do Sky check if your phone's plugged in?
 

I'm thinking of getting a second box - part of the contract appears to
be connecting phone line for 12 months. Do they actually check up on
this. If so what happens?

Yes they do check. You'll get a letter after a few weeks of unplugging
it reminding you of the terms and if you don't connect it, they'll up
the subscription to the full price on the second box.

Normality will be restored once we actually work out what normality is.

if you are on the dual sub then they aparently DO check the phone line to
make sure that your using both boxes in the same house and your not using
the second sub round at your mates house

but all other users with one box never really seem to get checked

I just changed to Sky+ and Multiroom

The way I understand, it is since I have been a subscriber for over 12
months and paid £149 for the deal.

The Sky+ is off the phone line, but the multiroom is on the phone line
since that is the box that's been subsidised.....

I'll await and see what happens.

If you have multiroom you must have BOTH receivers connected to the
phone line - that's the condition of multiroom, it's nothing to do
with receiver subsidy.

(It's to make sure that you haven't sold the second card to your
mates, or on ebay, or something.)

Its a condition of multiroom that both boxes are connected - nothing to do
with whether they subsidised

I'll await and see what happens.

You will get a letter

But only for the first 12 months? Then you can disconnect it?

If it is the dual-sub (or mirror sub) then you must have both boxes
connected to the same line for the duration of the contract.

So after contract ends, I could use the second sub at my mates house?

After the contract ends you don't have a second sub.
