Newbie here - looking to move from freeview to Sky.
I was after a Virgin bundle for tv, phone , broadband but as I'm not with BT, I would have needed a new phone number which I didn't want. My telephone provider is Talk Talk ( it was OneTel when I left BT). Bradband thru Orange.
All Sky's material refers to needing a BT line also. Does that mean I can't get the tv/ phone/ broadband bundle frm Sky either ?
And if I elect for just Sky TV only, do they need to install some other type of line to pass data between me and them..?
Would I be better just going back to BT..?
thanks in advance...

if you pay £25 extra to sky you don't need a phone line at all
If you just want Sky TV any phone line will do - including a Virgin Media line or any BT based provider.
But if you want the phone and broadband from Sky. you'll need to get your talktalk line back over to BT as they are physically the same thing, but its just TalkTalk have it just now.
then once BT have it active under them, Sky can place the phone and broadband order.
If all you are after is Sky Digital TV, then any working phone line will do, it's never been a requirement it has to be BT.
If you are having just the single box, once the installer has gone you can disconnect from the line if you wish.
Sky go on about a BT line as this is for them to offer their broadband or phone service.
