I've had no problems. I have a Pace set top box (from Leisurepower). It's 12v so you don't have to worry about 240v or inverters. I use an ordinary mini dish -

re message from david. i was in my caravan for 5 months last year and sky never said anything. i didnt tell them.

provided you have been a subsciber for more than 1 year you dont have to have the telephone line connected so sky dont know.

stevefromthecabin... is right....but I have "multi-room" in the house so the phone connection is required. That said, when SKY sent me a letter a couple of days ago, I phoned them up to say that I always switch boxes off when I go away and that is why they cannot find my box on their system.( it needs reset...easy to do yourself).....Hope this helps.....
