Sky with other phone providers

Hi,

I'm moving into a new apartment next week, and having been with BT for a while, Im looking to move to a cheaper option such as TalkTalk or Tiscali's phone and broadband option.

I'm just a bit confused by the quote on the Sky Customer Support page, that says "you must have an active BT line in your new property before installation."

Can anyone tell me what this actually means? I presume Sky can still be accessed via a TalkTalk or Tiscali phone package?

Cheers for your help.

Ty

    Sky TV can be installed with any land line, BT, TT, cable etc.

    Sky broadband requires the BT line.

    However why not have Sky TV, Sky Broadband, BT Line Rental and then either choose Sky Talk free evening and weekend calls or Primus Saver 2 free evening and weekend calls.

    TalkTalk and Tiscali aren't know as good providers, saves 12 months of hell.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
