    That would get the thread pulled even though it is a money saving site - just just a bit of logic and you should be able to work it out for yourself.

    If I'm following your logic, wouldn't disconnecting the phone line before cancelling the subscription (for most; the OP doesn't have the phone line connected) have the same effect?

    And I'm guessing the box responds by telephone to confirm receipt kill?

    Whether it does or doesn't the Sky+ box is half a brick by then! It's not necessary for the phone line to be connected.

    Not personally as I have never subscribed to Sky+ but it has worked for others.

    If it works to stop the cancellation of Sky+, does it also work to stop the cancellation of the Sky service in general?

    (I obviously don't have Sky, so I'm just asking out of interest)

    No subscription means no paid for channels received but the Sky+ box that you have paid for would still function as before.

    Doesn't Sky send an OTA signal to your box when you cancel the paid for channels?
