not sure for sky+, but on sky its under services and system setup. id imagine sky+ is similar?

these days prisions are paradise. you go to prision to be punished. but what happens? you get anything you want, 50" TVs with sky+, plenty food, well looked after etc. you should be thrown in a room, 1 meal a day. no light, just a small window too small to fit your arm thru, never mind the rest...

and who is this 'mystery man'?! sounds all false to me. and less than 3 years? now if i could get 100,000, possibly more and only risk 2 years 9 month (with 2 years knocked off for good behavior) then id take my chances
