Sky HD+: What do I need / get?

So it's time to give up on Virgin Ever getting their HD offerings up to par. The £49.00 install offer of Sky is enough to entice me off the Virgin VIP package.

My VM boradband is good, so I'd keep that.

I only have a VM phone line, and am not going to pay for BT to install one as that would be a silly cost. I know the Sky STB needs a phone line:
Will it work with a Virgin land line?
How often does it dial out?
What type of number i.e. geographical, 0845, 0800?
The Sky HD+ box itself.
Is there an optical output for the sound so I can connect it to my amplifier that doesn't do HDMI?
It's surprising how often I am using both recorders on the V+ whilst watching something else. How many channels can be watched / recorded at once?

The install. Does the £49.00 include a dish and all cabling?

Which direction does the satellite dish point (North, South)? Trying to work out where it might actually go on my house as I don't really want it on the front wall.

Thanks.
