Remote Phone socket for 2nd Sky box

Citizen7 · 14-09-2004 11:41am #1

I'm installing a 2nd digibox (have SKy+ box aswell) and am getting the discounted 2nd viewing card from Sky. However they tell me in order to protect themselves (so I don't have give the cheap card to someone else) both boxes must alwasy be connected to a phone line (so they know they are in the same house). My Sky+ is always connected to the phone line, however there is no phone line beside the 2nd box.

Is there anything device I can plug into my phone port (wireless transmitter) and plug in an receiver on the Digibox so that it can use the phone line?

Thanks.

I use the Oneforall Wireless Phone Extender. This allows you to share your phone line through your power sockets without any wiring. Check out this article:

I got mine in an Eircom shop. I am not sure if they still sell them.

I think I paid around €100.

If you buy from Maplin UK you probably won't get Irish phone connectors with it. This Irish site has it for €99
