Default Second Subscription

Quick question - I have sky+ on a full subscription in the lounge, and a
digibox with no subscription or card of any sort in the bedroom. If i take
a secondary subscription for a few months, at £10, then cancel it, will the
card in the bedroom still give me the ITV, CH4 and CH5 stations? And is
there a minimum subscription term for a second subscription?

Apparently its 12months, There is no guarantee you will get ITV, CH4 & CH5

Another question.
If I go for the SKY+ box and the £10 second subscription for my old digibox
in "another room", can I then take the old digibox to Spain?

Only for a week or two. The two phone connections are policed.

What? another "you must plug in for 12 months" rubbish if you go with SKY+?
Do both units need to be by a phone socket? That would screw up many people
from having a second box

it would also feck up some peoples phone systems - i already have 4 phones
and sky+ - isn't there a limit on the number of devices that can be
connected to a domestic phone connection (REN or something)?

It's not for the Sky+, it's for the £10 "mirror" sub. Two permanent
connections to the same phone line are required. These can be
wireless.

Take them to the Small Claims Court. That will focus their minds.
