is it possible to take a sky +box ,from one address and go to another get a dish fitted and it still work ok without having to change your payment details to the new address.the bill would be getting paid from the original house.

 

Cant see any reason why not just dont plug it into the phone line as it might show up in some way.

 

You don't have to change your billing adress, your box will work anywhere with a dish. Telephone line doesn't matter either, I moved over 6 months ago n it's still going strong!

 

why would you not wont them to now your new address ???

and no phone line no box office films

 

you need yoru twin cable and quad lnb too tho, single feed is pointless on a plug box (if you havnt got those bits pm me)

you can put the box where you like, if you are within your 12mth contract sky can get the arse over it not being on a phone line but rarely do

 

better still cancel your old contract and start a new 1 at teh new address selling teh old box and having all new gear fitted and try to get a deal on it too

 

the reason that the billing address dosen't want to be changed is that the bill is being shared so only paying half the monthly cost,but if you declare a new address you will have to pay full price,and so will the other person at the old address. sky charge enough as it is

 

Just call Sky and let them know the new address where the box is at and keep the same billing address. Your not going to be double billed for changing the address?!

 

i mean that the old address will still be using sky,so is it possible to move one box to another address without letting sky know,as they will then charge 2 homes for 2 seperate accounts,instead of still paying only half.can they detect another address only if the phone lines are connected? or can they find out through the dish signal?

 

If the box is part of a multi room subscription then both boxes must be connected to the same telephone line otherwise you will be charged at full rate for the second box. They do a callback once per month to check this.

Sky are unable to know what address the box is in from the telephone line connection or through the satelite.

 

thanks for the reply.i have never had the telephone line connected to sky or the other box,and never had a call from sky.so worth a try ,just need another dish sod giving them anymore money.

 

i must be unlucky then

both houses sky have been in a letter writing mood to say "connect the phone line or your bills will go up"

 

never even heard of anyone i know getting a call from sky about phone lines not connected . they want you to phone them at stupid cost.

 

they wrote to me, didn't phone

 

just cancel everything if they keep on,they will then give you all sorts of deals to come back,that's what i'm always reading.funny how they treat the long term customers so shit but bend over backwards for the new ones !! their costs are getting stupid now

 

they are bringing out a new skyHD box now
all black with new technolog in it

 

Morcheen, new and existing customers pay the same. New customers may get free install but didn't you when you signed up? What package are you on?

I think its costs 4-5p per minute when you call Sky, unless you have the calls package with them which would then make it free. If you don't want to call them, email them via www.sky.com

Dojj, that's the box I'm getting soon.

 

1TB box apparently it's going to cost £250 for teh box and £30-£60 for instalation etc

but it's got a whole new operating system apparently

 

was told the hd box has it's problems and to stick to the + box for now.on the full package K .i've not looked into the call costs for a while now.

 

The HD boxes that they are giving away for free are OK, think they're the 500 GIG ones. Isn't the 1TB 3D ready too?! I'm waiting for an offer that's coming soon, I wouldn't pay the £250.

Morcheen, you should call and downgrade your package and see if they offer you anything. If they don't, you could always add the stations back on through the website. Just don't give the 'new customer's get everything' or 'I'm going to Virgin' speels - sound genuine.

 

will give it a go K

 

Sigh when us that box meant to be out?

I know they just released the pvr5 or whatver the letters are last week which are slightly smaller and have 500gb hard drive which I got on Friday

Haven't heard of that new one tho

 

the new hd boxes are being given out in replacement of the old hd boix with a 500 gb Hdd 250 of which is user partitioned

ill be getting myself a couple of them remotes this week! very nice

 

I'm confused lol

what model and who makes these new ones?

I have a new 500gb one that I just got last week which is one of the new ones sky just released last week or so.

When are those ones pictured above meant to be out?
