My multiroom box was installed without being plugged into a phone line and the guy wasn't bothered. Never had it plugged in since (over a year ago) and every so often it comes up with a message on the TV Guide saying about plugging it in but we've never had a letter. | |

Don't see why they are like this. I don't even jar a landline but have sky. Never caused me any problems | |

When Sky installed mine at my old place they run an extension to the other room. Get in touch and tell them to come and sort it maybe. Looks messy having wires everywhere though. | |

My second box isn't connected anymore and hasn't been for some time, I think it's only the 1st 12months it has to be hooked up. We got the letters too and one month they did bill us for two separate subs but they refunded that after I hooked the second box up. | |

It's in the contract so has to be done. Stops people jsut paying for multiroom then using the card at another address. Think you'll just have to live with it, as our letters didn't stop coming lol I think after a certain period on the normal main box you can drop the phone line but as long as you have multiroom then it must be plugged in all the time. Could always get a wireless phone jack telephone extension to save you running wires and ripping up carpets. | |

I think it's part of the terms that both boxes are connected to a phone line for the first 12 months. I had the same letters and had to run a temp phone line. Now neither boxes are connected and they don't seem to care. Pretty sure you can get a gadget that turns a normal electrical outlet into a phone line, think Maplins do them. | |

Nope, used box office downstairs now and again but not in my room. No phone line with them either. | |

Ring them mate it's bollocks. Do they provide your phone? Do you ever use box office? If not unplug them as it's not needed and tell them you've no longer got a land line | |

I have multi-room in my bedroom, its never been plugged in to the phone line because there isn't a phone socket near it. It's all been fine but not Sky are sending letters saying it has to be plugged in or they will start charging a full subscription for the multi-room (£40+ instead of just £10) |
