The only part where your plan may falter is that you intend to buy a Sky + box in which to activate the card. Sky MAY insist on the box having called back home before they will activate the card. This means you would have to connect your Sky + to an IRISH phone line in order to do the callback. Pretty difficult to do that if you're in London! Your queries:1. Do i need a sky dish also for the UK house. (i would of thought so.)Absolutely yes, how do you expect to receive a signal?? And make sure you get a quad lnb, Sky + needs two inputs.2. Do i need the phone line at the irish address as if in the future i require a full sky instalation at irish address i don't want service at the UK address effected.Only if Sky require a callback before activation, then you can safely disconnect. No effect at UK home, just don't ever connect a phone line there.3. What packages work best from sky through this set upAll packages work fine but to get RTE etc you must have the variety pack.4. what type of sky box works best and what kind of money should i expect to pay for a new or very good box or where is the best place to find one.A V3 Sky + should cost you around a hundred quid or so, I recently bought one for myself, a Pace, for €149. Otherwise you might like to go HD with the Thomson box for around £230 or so.also what should be included with box for full package and no hassle.In the case of Sky + all cabling you require for the box itself is included.With the HD box you should also receive a HDMI lead and quad LNB. Dish installation, cabling etc are separate, can't advise on those costs, sorry.regardsD.</blockquote>
