Landline is changing

[Beryl1]

Can anyone help please, my landline will be cancelled later this month. Will I still be able to use my SKy+ HD box or do I need to switch to different equipment?

No, the requirement to connect your Sky box to the landline was dropped several years ago.

For on-demand content, a suitable Sky+ HD box connects to broadband (usually over WiFi)  from an internet router: the built-in 'phone' (modem) socket was never used for this, and was there to provide basic interactive services and telemetry upload before broadband became widely available.
