Hi
Wonder if someone could answer this for me?
i have got virgin media but now wish to get sky digital, but my parents want to keep virgin media (they have the broadband phone etc).
So what i was wondering is if you can get both sky which i only want in my bedroom nowhere else, and virgin media in the same house?
any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Simple answer: Yes

Yep. Sky comes in via dish to its own box, VM is fed through it's own cable and box.

Hi me again.
it says on the sky website that i need a telephone socket which can have incoming and outgoing calls which i have. what i want to know is what do they need to do to the phone line as we only have one phone socket or do i need anothr telephone socket
Thanks in advance

the sky installer will run a extention lead from ur socket to the area where the box is ment to be. it will be tacked around along the skirting boards (but will not be placed under carpets as they are not allowed to do this)

Just wondering do sky use double telephone socket adaptors so i can have the phone line in one socket and the lead from my set top box in the other?
Thanks
ps and do i have to pay extra for them?

[iain_herts]

u might have 2 sockets depends on what the installer use's.

and no there is no extra cost for this and dont let the installer con u by chargeing for it
