Will just plugging in sky box in new home make it work?

Hi all
I am moving to a new house in 2 week, so had two related questions.
1) The new flat has a commual dish shared by the whole building and a working (AFAIK) sky-point already present in the living room. Will I be able to just carry my current sky-box to the new home and will it just start working without any installation needed? My current home has a communal satellite too, so I have never really had or needed a separate satellite dish for myself.
2) My contract completes 1 year next month. Can I cancel and get a new contract in my girlfriends name in the new flat (even after I have plugged in and used my old box there for around a month)? The reason to cancel and get a new contract is to make use of the free store vouchers they give out, plus I can sell off my old Sky box to someone (I guess).
Thanks a lot, appreciate the help a lot!!

It should do however it may need to be hooked up on the multiway splitter that you should find in a cabinet on a communial landing.
Yes,you should be able to,just tell them you've moved after your year's up & you cant get Sky because you have no line of sight to the dish because of high trees BUT again,dont tell them your new address.2) My contract completes 1 year next month.

it does not make any difference whether you tell them your new location or not. the fact that you have had a contract will not prevent your partner getting a contract as a new customer...0
