I had the sky engineer in today to install HD and he told my wife I needed to have a phone line (which I don't have or want) or I'd have to pay the £25 fee.
I have had sky / sky+ for nearly 10 years and have not had a phone line. Why the sudden insistence on one now?

I told them to cancel the order and am now looking at freesat or aVirgin VBox (I've got Virgin broadband already).
