Doesn't it need to be connected to a phone line?

Sky does need to be but only when you first connect the card ive always unplugged mine after that and never had a problem.

for sky you ned a dish but if you dont want a 12 month contract ask aa small sky retailer/installer and they might do you a good deal ive never had a dodgy sky card but if you have any empty houses near you order them a card and fish it out the lettbox you then get 6-10 weeks before its cut off (if you get caught expect to be in trouble lol) as long as its a new sky card never been registered to a box its easy to install if you know how.

If you have cable points installed then pay a one off fee for one that allows all the channels the cable company do have a way of cutting them off every so often though its like once every year in leicester so you just get the guy who i get the box off to sort it.

Freeview is ok and i think you get some channels sky dont let you get for free like e4 etc? maybe sky let you get it now but last i knew you couldnt.

you pick up more channels because of the frequencys and the allowance for channel on the skybox...

theres another thing someone told me about . like a cracked skybox which is completly free because they can crack into the signal for sky... and sky can't change it without updating everysingle system in every home.... sounds too good to be true but works

Explain....

They are little mice that plug in between your sky box and your phone line which you can use to view encrypt channels like pay per view **** and movies. They are very dangerous as if they are set up wrong Sky could detect them. Anyway you'd need a sky subscription. There is no way to get Sky without paying and you shouldn't try.

well, in theory a sky card de encrypts satellite signals using non-sky equipment. Sky offer a 'freesat' card, but i believe you need to buy the dish and box as well. This card will not work in a freeview box because freeview uses signals from masts while sky uses signals from satellites.
