Apparently if we go with sky and a second box the second one needs to be connected to the phone.
Does this cause any problems with broadband?

Apologies,i should of put this on Cable & MMDS & IPTV

as long as anything connected to any phone sockets in the house has a dsl filter on it, then everyting should be ok

the skyboxes wont be using the fone connection all that often anyways

If a second box is just for Free Channels (BBC, ITV, Film4 and about 40 other) then you don't need phone or subscription for it.
