If it says register with hub its expecting a bt home hub and almost certainly won't work with sky

Your best option would be a panasonic dect base station

YES IVE SOME OLD CORDLESS PHONES WHICH WOULD FIT,BUT NEW TOY AN ALL THAT,ID LIKE TO GET IT WORKING,BEFORE LETTING IT GO.

IAM WONDERING IF I CONNECT A "BT" HUB ALONGSIDE MY SKY HUB AND ONLY RUN THE BT DIDITAL PHONE TROUGH IT......ANY VIEWS.

BT Digital Voice is a proprietary system and not standard VoIP, so it won’t work through Sky.  The BT hub also needs to be the first thing connected to the internet, so I’m afraid the idea looks like a non-starter.

Incidentally, are you aware that typing in block capitals is regarded as the equivalent of shouting?

Not possible. Your BT digital voice handsets will ONLY work when on BT Broadband using a BT Hub
