Telephone point relocation

[Gaz938]

Good afternoon, I'd like to move my tv to a different part of the living room, but need to relocate the phone socket. Is that something a Sky engineer would do?

You wouldn't need to relocate a phone socket to accommodate moving your tv?

[Gaz938]

The sky box is plugged into the main bt socket and is not close enough to accommodate the tv if we move it.

[Mark39]

It's no longer necessary to connect your Sky box to the telephone line. The requirement was removed several years ago.

Thanks Mark, our internet isn't brilliant, but I'll give it a go. 👍

That's not related.  The direct connection between a Sky+ box and a phone socket historically served as the access method for very basic (dial-up modem speed) interactive services such as voting, and to permit Sky to harvest telemetry from the box: these ceased several years ago  All on-demand content (and streaming services, although not on Sky+ hardware) comes from an external Internet link via a router and the broadband service of an ISP.
