Need some help here. Just built a new house in the sticks. We have pulled in a cable for a phone line, but there is no phone line running near the site, and we dont want to put one in, as we both have mobiles, and wouldnt use the land line anyway.

Without a phone line, can I get SKY. Would love SKY+. Or are there any cheaper ways of getting satelite (with EPG) without subscribing to SKY indefinetly.

I got in SKY last year and though I have a phone line SKY is not connected to it. AFAIR the installation guy said there would be a once off charge for not connecting to the phone line but I don't recall actually being charged any such fee.
 
Just let them know when you are ordering that you have no phone line. They will charge you a connection fee of €75 extra and that will be it.

Just got connected to sky without a phone line. They only charged a one off fee of €37.50.
 
Got sort out in the end. The will connect me (for an extra charge of 37.50) but only the basic box. Apparently Sky+ or SkyHD require a phone line.

They are installing it on Tuesday.

thanks, handy list. I purchased the Maplin Satellite suitcase a couple of weeks back and it works very well receiving all the channels on your list.
