Re: Getting Sky Hd without Bt Phone Line>?

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.
Actually it is so be prepared for either big bill (The subsidised STB is provided by BIB on condition you keep the STB connected to a phoneline for the first 12 months) or getting cut off for breach of T&C's.
If you have multi-room,then it's full price packages for each STB.

No,
You are required to have a working phoneline before install,When the engineer calls & cant do the job because of no phoneline,then the work order will be cancelled,
This also will lead to the Sky BBand & Sky Talk order being cancelled as well if it's all ordered together.
As for the £25.00 no phoneline install,this only applies to standard installs.
Had this problem loads of times.
