Question Thinking of moving to SKY...

I'm thinking of getting SKY installed in the next couple of months. I've currently got all NTL services. NTL phoneline, digital TV and BB. I'm going to cancel the NTL Digital TV obviously. Was looking at the full £42.50 p/m package with multiroom, so £52.50 p/m with 3 months 1/2 price. I've just got a couple of questions that someone here may be able to answer.

1. Will I need a BT telephone line or will an NTL line be OK? - I know the SKY STBs need to be connected to a phone line for the 1st 12 months of connection (never really understood why though). It won't be a massive problem reconnecting to BT mind.

2. I've only got 1 phone point. Will it be a problem connecting BOTH STBs to the one line? Will the SKY installation take care of this? The phone socket is right next to the TV but I want a second STB in my room which is about 10 metres away down the hall.

3. I notice that when selecting your equipment, there is no option to have 2 SKY+ STBs. Not a problem really, as the second standard STB is free but, can you buy a second SKY+ box and use it as a replacement. Are there any problems? I really want SKY+ on both sets.

4. What is the best way to get this started? Just go to the SKY website? Or is there some way of getting a better deal? I've seen 4 months 1/2 price around town but it always seems to be 3 on the website.

5. Is there a good SKY oriented forum (similar to this one) around that anyone could point me to for when I have moved?

I'm sure there are other questions but I can't think of any right now...
