It's impossible to avoid paying for PPV events via Sky with any method (inc the oldest wives tale of unplugging the telephone line connection).

it works but only to a certain extent - you can just as easy pick your phone up and ring someone then order your film - wait for it to go through, then disconnect sky box from phone line and away you go - but the information is stored on the viewing card so if some time later the box is connected and allowed to do a callback you will get billed for whatever you have watched - there is also a credit limit on the viewing card (£50?) so once you reach that limit you wont get anymore films til the box does a callback

ISTR the credit limit was reduced drastically a while back to stop the old 9v trick.
