    If it's just one Sky box you are getting then a permanent phoneline isn't required, though there is a €37.50 levy.

    For Multiroom, a phoneline IS required, and must be connected to each box! That's why I said just one Skybox in my previous post.

    Personally, not being in or near a UPC broadband area, I dunno if their system will play ball with Skyboxes. Some do, some don't.

    My two skyboxes work perfectly fine with UPC's phone service. There are numerous other posts on Boards.ie from other people who also have sky digital and UPC phone working fine.
