For Sky, you don't need a working landline at all. For Sky Multiroom (not sure about just one Sky + or HD box) you need a working landline, but not necessarily BT, just so the box can dial out and prove you havn't given it to someone else.

Signal quality is down to a dish that isn't really up to the job, I replaced mine with a 65cm standard satellite dish and universal LNB and my signal quality rose from 60% to 100% only thing that interferes with my signal now is an electrical storms in the path of the satellite signal
