Moving House - Sky Questions...

Options
Hi

I am moving into a new house in a month - I currently have Sky Plus and also have a phone line with them.
There is no Sky dish at the new house (there is a Freeview aerial connection), and the landlord advised that there used to be a BT line but it was disconnected a few years ago.
I am in contract with Sky until August.
A previous house move fell through last month and prior to this I enquired with Sky as to how much it would cost to move (there was a Sky dish at that property but no BT line - only a virgin one), they told me I would have to pay for the full cost of a phone line install, and possibly for another LNB in order for the Sky Plus to work - totalling around £130!.
So, any idea's on the cheapest way to transfer over?, Is it worth threatening to cancel my contract and pay any fees to see if I can get it doen cheaper or free?, very annoying as they seem to do everything for new customers but existing customers get stitched up!!!

thanks in advance

Gab.
