Are SKY and UPC jacks the same?

califano

Im switching from sky to upc(Fibre Freedom Sport deal multiroom) for the first time.
Regarding the TV part, I was asking a chap from customer services were the SKY telephone jacks i have behind each tv good for the upc tv boxes or does an engineer need to fit seperate ones?(If so i just need the equipment and install myself.)

He said that it has been known for SKY to come around and take out these phone jacks that they put in and it even happened to himself before. So what to do, get upc to put in another set and pay the €50 install just in case sky come around at some stage?.
I was a bit unsure of the answer other than that if these sky tv jacks are even the correct jacks needed for upc. Anyone else hear of this and could you confirm or rule out if these SKY slots are the proper ones for upc tv. Im unsure because i googled images of UPC tv box slots and some are round and some are similar to sky?.

UPC don't use any telephone points, Sky use them if you have more than one box in the house and are able to watch keep an eye if a box is disconnected, Upc don't do that.
