Sky box with VOIP phone line

cracker · 2011-02-12 13:59:11

Hi I am considering moving to UPC for broadband and phone but I would like to keep Sky for tv. Is it possible to use a VOIP phone line for the sky box. Thanks Dave

With the UPC phone service, yes.
With a third party VoIP service, most likely not.

Thanks. So how is it hooked up? Would I need to get an installer to do this or is it something I could do myself

If you have only one Skybox you don't need a phoneline connected,only needed for multiroom.

I do have multiroom. Is there some kind of adaptor that will pick up the phone signal from the wireless router and allow it to be plugged into the sky box?

Hi, did you manage to use Sky+ and multi room with UPC telephony? I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

Thanks,

Hugh
