You will also need BT line rental for the digibox, which costs £125 to set up, as well as £11 a month line rental

Completely wrong.


Although that part of the "news story" is talking about moving from Virgin to Sky, it is talking about "Virgin customers who wish to leave for Sky and who only want TV", in which case they would presumably still have (or could have) Virgin broadband & a Virgin phoneline.

You do not need a BT line for Sky Digital - the digibox is quite happy when connected to a Virgin media phone line... all it wants is a phone line, it doesn't care who provides it.


You need a BT line for "Sky Talk" though. And you obviously need one for Sky Broadband (ADSL).
