Sky HD problems

Upgraded to sky HD a couple of weeks ago. I am not very technical so apologise if I am not using right technical words.

It's now attached to the internet so we can use interactive services however ever since there's been interference on the phone line and anyone trying to ring gets an engaged tone. Phone line is with sky along with broadband.
