That makes no sense, your IP address wouldn't be part of it anyway considering most ISPs use dynamic IPs. I imagine it'd be tied to your viewing card number and PIN, or they'll just get you to use your online Sky ID.

Nonsense.
How is it nonsense? Have you got multi room? They nag you to death if both boxes are not connected to the phone line.
The OnDemand does use the Broadband. When I'm using it my router flickers the lights on each ethernet port when it's downloading. You quoted the part I explained on what it does. It tells Sky what their customers order, viewing statistics and interactive shopping, Q-Cut and all that.
Plus for each box to phone home to let Sky know where it is.
Only the Showcase section is cached to the hard drive. Until they have been replaced by each thumbnail. Thats how you can save it to the hard drive so quickly.
Nothing else is done through the phone line for updating, downloading or anything of that sort. Forced updates and the pushed out stream that you wait on is all done via the dish.
Bugger! I should have kept some of the stuff when I did. Like Multiplicity. Thats now on PPV.
Indeed. Because some people are so honest. Giving the box to their neighbour/friend.
Yes, it's part of the contract. You break it and the price goes up to full. Not the £10 for the box thats not connected that you've broken the T&Cs.
You can see on your phone bill when the boxes dials home to let Sky know where it is. It's not charged but it is listed. I personally don't have issues with it. Everything is done so quickly it has no effect on the phone line itself.

No I don't have multi-room, but I wasn't talking about multi-room in the first place. My lonely Sky+HD box isn't connected to a phoneline.
Yeah I know, I didn't say otherwise. What I did say was it's annoying that you need to phoneline connected in order to rent movies from the Sky Store; if you don't, you get a message where you're told you need to phone a number for assistance.
Are you a new customer? every new box has to be connected for a year. It's in the agreements. After that it isn't mandatory but it is if you have multiroom. Since I'm on that. One time I tested it to see what would happen before I had the house rewired. The boxes used to trip up the broadband. Within a week or two I had notices sent out from Sky demanding the boxes be connected. Or face full charges.
Bringing this back on to the thread topic "Sky Updated EPG" has anyone who has had the update found any glitches or issues?
Obviously I am still waiting for the update here
Is it still just the one revision to the originally released update, or has there been another?

I've not had any issues on the DRX890 and 895. I normally get 3 months without a restart.

I'm positive the DRX890 had another small update after it had the Sky logo moved to the left of the screen. As the box one night while watching TV restarted and came up with the Sky intro. But the DRX895 jumped to the latest.
No, you cannot. The forced update stream still has the version you listed. You have to wait.
