Just ordered sky multiroom today. How is the 2nd box connected to phone line?

via 2 plastic cups and a piece of string obviously.

or

via a telephone cable.

Do sky put a telephone extension in the 2nd room or is the 2nd box fed off the original line connection?

Do sky put a telephone extension in the 2nd room or is the 2nd box fed off the original line connection?the difference being????? both have to have a cable.

I guess what youre asking is do sky cable it, or do you have to?

[kopite66]

Yes I thought the question I was asking was quite clear??? Do sky put in an extension?

[ajm]

Yes sky put it in. They put my 1st cable in. As the 2nd box is right below the 1st one, I just ran a splitter so they didn't do anything, but would have if it was in a different room.

Well we bought an extension kit from argos with a real phone socket on it (fixes to the wall)

And the guy came this morning and couldn't install our stuff as we didn't have an ADSL microfilter, so I would phone them and ask them if you have any queries mate, better to be safe than sorry :(

[kopite66]

Don't You only need ADSL filter if you have Broadband. I still have dial,up?

Reading further into it that is correct mate, but the sky engineer we had round earlier seemed to think different. We're on ntl cable net :mad:
