Sky + phone line?

Question

Answer 4

Hi Lennie

Yes you can the cheapest way is to run the cable, sometimes outside the house is best, if its a little awkward to run it inside, OR....

telephone extenders, from Maplins...

They are not cheap at around £60 for the set. but you just plug it in the main socket and you have a tele connection anywhere in the house...

Thie will do it  !!!

hope this helps, good luck

Answer 5

there is a way it does it wirelessly i think by bluetooth or something, i asked my brother the exact same question and he said there's this thing you can get from any electic shop that does it wirelessly but that way you can only watch what is on on the sky box you can't watch a different thing than downstairs but you can get terrestial telly as well. i think it's called a wireless transmitter or transistor or something...will edit this answer when i speak to him later tonight to give you more info

the other option is to get sky multi room and that way u can watch whatever but apparently it's quite dear xx

Answer 6

I don't think you have to have it plugged into the phone socket all the time, only if you're ordering a film from box office or something, otherwise you can unplug it
