Can anyone explain why Sky need to have their boxes plugged into a phoneline and what the call cost and line usage implications are ?
I know that they download stuff from the satellite to the Sky box but can't upload stuff since the box is a receiver only and not a transmitter.
I'm wondering do you ever get calls at 0300 which your Sky box is supposed to pick up ? Or does it call home every day or few days and if so, how long are the calls, how much do they cost, etc ? What happens if you are on the phone to someone and your Sky box decides it's going to squawk down the line ?
Thanks,
z
