If you are keeping the subbed box just use a splitter to keep it updated. Regards they dont care recent events would say otherwise.

Dont fool yourself, they care alright, a good friend of mine had exactly this problem, a visit from CC Enquiring why he was subscribing yet had not been using, as they had been checking his area and noticed he had'nt sent back a signal over a period of time, he says he was abroad and just kept the service going, make sure you use a splitter and that your subbed box is connected

Yes thats the best way to deal with it, use a splitter, stick the sub box in the bedroom and keep it powered on standby,at least this sends back a signal to the cc, if your not happy with the box on all the time then switch it on and off when you need to, ie at nights or when your not in..

No as long as its got a live feed from your splitter then you dont need it connected to a tv, but why waste it..
