[truescouser4eve]

Doesn't matter

[Spy Bee]

Oh hang on, for Setanta I don't know.

[Caramac]

Yes you need it because when you order goes through your phone line. Unless you can phone using another line and speak to some one, not sure about that one.

I beg to differ Adam. Without the landline you can't order pay per view. It's all done up the phone line.

I'm not a hundred per cent but I think you only need the phone line when you order using your remote. You can phone Sky and order over the phone.

But don't they send the signal to your box via the phone line?

I think you could be right. I was thinking it could have been done through the dish, but I suppose the dish picks up all signals regardless and it's the box that decides whether you can view it or not.

That would be my guess too. In short, you want to change your box settings (including to allow a ppv), you need a phone line.

[Spy Bee]

You just give them your card number for ppv and they unblock it from their end. I never had a phone line from the day I had sky installed and I had several ppv events. Wrestlemania, The Royal Rumble - you know.

Sorry about hijacking the thread, but can you get the fight on Virgin Media aswell? If so, how?

Really? My in-laws removed their phone line and couldn't order Prem plus games, although I can't remember if we phoned Sky or just tried with the remote.

You can't order it till tomorrow Mick. Press the 'On Demand' button on your remote, then select 'More on Demand', then 'Live Events', then 'Today's Events'. You'll need your PIN number.

Yeah use the phone. Put the mouth piece by your mouth and the ear piece near your ear. The remote looks similar, but you'll never get through on it.
