Sky boxes REN?

[Derek]

Does anyone know if the Sky Digiboxes have a REN value attached to them :confused:

I've been searching for a while and cannot find a definative answer. There isn't anything in the online manuals from Pace (that I can find)

I'm asking as come Wednesday there will be two Sky boxes installed onto a line which is already groaning at the seams with phones and caller ID boxes.
An extra couple of devices might put it over the edge :Yikes:

If they do have one is there any way to make sure they are last in the line so phones keep ringing inside the house?

Yers they do have a REN value I beleive it is 1. as my mate just told me can be as low as 0.5

If you have trouble with the REN you can buy a booster device that makes it go from 4 to 11. I've seen them in BT shops or in the CPC catalogue.

Hmmm,

I'll see how things go. If things start going funny it'll a quick call to the local cheerful BT engineer (my brother) to see if he can sort something out.

Cheers for the info.

Note that all telephone equipment is marked with a Ringer Equivalence Number, the total of which must not exceed REN = 4 otherwise your phones might not ring or might ring only intermittently. The Digibox REN = 0.5
