Ive just checked and got this, so it looks like any landline.

Sky Active: Some services require a Sky digital subscription and/or a Sky box connection to phone line (call charges may apply).

Your Sky+ box/free Sky box must be connected to a fixed telephone line for 12 months. You must get any consents required (e.g. landlord's). Installation may be subject to delay. Minimum Sky digital/Sky+ subscription 12 months. You must be 18 years or over. Prices, channels/programmes subject to change. Further terms apply. Information only applies to residential customers in UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. Information correct (September 05).

There is a difference in the line voltage of a BT telephone line and Non BT providers. Whereas BT use 50 Volts, Non BT providers only supply 37 Volts on There Nokia transmission kit. Some modems are looking to detect the 50 V line voltage before they will work correctly. There is NO WAY that Non BT providers can alter There line voltage to match BTâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s as this is inherent in the make-up of the Nokia transmission kit, and cannot be adjusted for individual subscribers. They are able to make adjustments to the Modem settings though, which may counter this problem.
