Sky channels are available should you point your dish at the right satellite. There's a couple of satellites that broadcast them unencrypted.
The Sky+ features (like recording), I have no idea about. I reckon these are enabled by the card that Sky send out every once in a while (I know the EDS/NDS encryption key is on the card).
Unplugging from the phone line stops any updates that Sky want to send you. I still love the way they hide the "Call home" signal inside their broadcasts, so that you call them, rather than them having to call you. Someone was wearing their thinking cap that day!
