sort of wrong!

depends on where your going and how big your dish is, the main free uk channels bbc1, itv, c4 etc are all on 2D satellite which has a tight footprint around the UK

the post code part is mostly for reginal programing, theres about 15 bbc1s your box picks up your post code tell its which area so you get the right local news etc, automatically, tho you can manualy add other bbc1s

the phone line bit wont matter if unpluged for a few weeks, as you disconected it to decorate your front room etc.
