• How does Sky connect to the house via telephone line?

[Mark39]

@bsulli if you're asking how you connect a telephone to your landline - just plug it into the standard telephone socket at the back of your Sky broadband Hub.

If you're asking so,ething different,  please elaborate.

How does Sky get their signal into a property, it used to be with a dish. Do they now use a landline, if so who pays for the landline??

@bsulli ah you mean Sky TV. 

Sky can still provide a TV service via a satellite dish but you have to order it over the phone. 

The alternative is Sky Stream, which you receive via your broadband connection, so either via the phone line or via a fibre optic cable. If you don't currently have a broadband connection, you would have to buy that separately, either from Sky or another provider.
