do you have a school address? it looks like that would work.

Surely you can use a freebie email? Hotmail or Google or something like that?

Apparently not:

Your email address has been rejected.

Please note that Digital Spy does not accept registrations from anonymous webmail providers such as Hotmail and Yahoo. Please register with an address provided by your ISP.

Personally, I'd be of the opinion that if they are going to have that type of restriction on registering, I don't really want to register (which I didn't anyway, I was just testing.)

Most ISP's will allow you to create several email address' using the logon/user name setup originally with the ISP.

You could ask your dad about that.

[MK Chris]

Yeah, but quite a few use the same mailbox with a different alias. That annoyed me with whoever did it with me (possibly Freeserve, when they were still Freeserve.)

I was going to say that - I can't see why you can't have your own email address on your dad's ISP. We have five different addresses on ours, all with whatever privacy and security measures the user wants.
