When our Sky was installed the engineer was quite insistent about the phone line, although its not necessary.

Sky also insist that you should keep your box plugged in to the phone line at all times, but that is not necessary - the connector to the phone socket broke a few weeks after it was installed (thanks to a clumsy American friend and a poorly placed router plugged into the same socket) and the only issues that have arisen are the occasional message on the TV telling us to plug the phone line back in so. We haven't, as I honestly don't care about Sky Bet or the other stuff that uses the line, and performance hasn't suffered.
