is there a hack for sly digital for getting free TV

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

I could have done with knowing you m8 last week cos they were giving free install and package for 12 months to friends and family.

i see your idea

Ive always thought... that if you live in a semi detached or Terraced house and had a real good next door neighbour then one of you could get a multi room family package for about 50 quid a month... then when installed just rewire/move one of the systems next door and then split the differance between yous for the bill.. 25 quid each, one way of getting a full package for near half price

That would work....till you fall out with the neighbour

Nahh... I think both receivers has to be connected to the same phoneline for atleast a year.

No probs, you just run an ext lead to next door box

And the kids will start to play the pay2play games and leave you with a hefty phone bill...

The NDS-people are too hard

Its not nessary to have the pone line connected to the receiver for one year as stated in the contract (except for interactive or Sky Plus) if you ask the Sky enginear to Activate the receiver before installation your home number will not be registered with Sky (They will do this for a small fee 10-15 quid) then its possable to share a multyroom subscription with up to 4 neighbours of course a Quad Lnb or 4 seperate receivers will be required.

I have seen this been used in Private apartments by very clever Landlords.

Sky used to do an opt out fee (one off payment) of ?25, so that you didnt have to have a phone line connected to the box, BUT that never used to apply to sky plus OR multi-room...not sure how it stands at the moment though

im sure thats not right as the 4 boxes will all have to make a call back at least once a month or sky will start charging the full price for each card. from what ive seen from my installs even after the first call back after install, the boxes call back again to show that they are still at teh same address.

the ?25 opt out is just to scare ppl into having the fone line connected really. and as far as i know thats the only time sky will allow the fone line not to be connected as thats why ppl receive the reduced price/subsidised boxes.

In the past i have installed many boxes for sky, and a few customers took the ?25 opt out fee, Some because they had mobile phone and werent planning on getting landline, But i was not allowed to complete an install if they were having sly + or multiroom, but as i said, i dont know if things are different now.

No the Card has 50 quid credit on the card in the receiver, even if you use the credit and the receiver is not pluged into the telephone you will be charged even if its a year or two later, Service updates are conducted via satellite downlink usualy once a month in the middle of the night no need for telephone connection, remember with multiroom it is the same card issued 2-3 times like clone cards.

[felix1]

the ?50 is only for PPV. multiroom boxes MUST be connected to the fone line and the same number too. if they are not then sky WILL charge you full subs until its sorted.
