Moving House - Sky Questions...

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

Sky house move should be £60 regardless of the amount/type of Sky boxes you have.
