This bt + sky thing
 

is it true that they're being done for unfair trading thingy? Surely
they can't insist that a BT line has to be installed? As it is the
guys who set ours up just waved the matter aside when I said we
wouldn't get rid of TW line, but now my son has decided to go for a
straight multiroom are they going to get funny with me for not having
a bit line to connect him to?

There was no mention of requiring a BT line for our recent Sky+ and
Multiroom installation.

Can't say I've looked it up lately, but don't they just refer to "connection
to *A* telephone line"? Surely they know that BT don't have the monopoly on
Telephone Lines (and haven't done for years). As long as it's connected to a
phone line that the box can dial out on (or receive incoming), then that's
alright. So you could have a BT, C&W, Telewest, whoever as your telephone
provider.

thanks, it's possible that during our installation it was a reason for
the reduction (=A310 installation back then was pretty good)

Hi there,

I read in the small print that you had to have a 'BT' line when we had Sky+
multiroom fitted in May so phoned them twice and told them we had a TW line
they said that was fine the inference being you must have a telephone line
which in days of yaw was of course a BT line as they were the only providers
in those good old olden days?

Tim.

Thought I'd seen it somewhere, probably the same thing, some bumph at
the bottom of a page or something. At least they're acknowledging that
we don't need BT now

Multiroom installation.

If you have multi-room they WILL require that both boxes are connected to
the same telephone line, and they WILL check. Otherwise you could be paying
just £10 a month for a £45 subscription which your mate is using at a
different address. They don't normally check that a single, non-multiroom
installation is connected though.
