I don't think you need a phone line for a lone Sky box connection anymore (I'm open to correction on this)-Sky will let you leave it unconnected for a once-off fee.
I've been thinking of getting a skyplus box - the current deal is reasonably attractive.
I have a landline in the house, though not near my TV.
I believe that the sky+ box needs to be connected to a phone line. Does anyone know how long for ? I could string a telephone extension line across my kitchen if it was only needed for a day or two.
I don't expect to be subscribing for any pay per view channels as such
I've had the same problem as Gypsygirl. I too have has the letters telling me to reconnect or i'd lose the subsidised charge on sky+
Now the thing is that both my boxes have been conected all the time (i have multiroom) so they can pi$$ off cos i've tried calling them to tell them of this and have been on hold for over half an hour. Grandted i haven't received any letters in a while.
If you go for Sky + with multiroom you do have to have your phoneline connected at all times or you'll be hit with an increased charge.
The good thing though is that you can get wireless transmittters that turns any electrical socket into a phone port which is ideal for you sky boxes. It means you do not have to run wires all around you house. I have this option and its super!! It was actually the sky installer that put me onto these. These can be bought in maplin.
