switching SkyTV subscription to another landline number

[UBUK]

My home has 2 BT landlines and I wish to cancel one of them, but it's the one that my SkyTV subscription is associated with. Is it a problem switching to the other landline? Does Sky TV still need to be associated with a landline actually?

Thanks

@UBUK  If you have a landine on your Sky account then surely it's provided by Sky.

You don't actually need a landline for any Sky+ or Sky Q boxes to work (you do need broadband for on demand content) so whichever line has the broadband connection is the one you keep and cancel the 2nd line that does not carry broadband.

@UBUK the old requirement to have your Sky box connected to the landline was abolished years ago.

No: the last models of Sky+ HD boxes to be produced (back in 2015) had no 'phone' socket or internal modem, and Sky Q hardware is inherently based around broadband access, not dial-up.
