Interesting FTV Question

mike2084 · 2003-06-24 17:25:18

I've got a friend that would like to get a UK Freeview card. He wishes to card swop. Here's the intersting bit. He has his box for 9 months- but it was NEVER connected to the phoneline. Does this mean he can go ahead and use a FTV card?

The phone line has absolutely nothing to do with using a FTV card. You can swap cards with or without it. Most people would advise you to disconnect the phoneline when using the FTV card though but I and others have swapped and forgotten to unplug the phone line with no ill effects.
