Looking positive then, good, as it's being installed 19th July. Anyhow, weird thing they said was... they asked who the phone was currently with in the new house... and it's Talk Talk... and they said they'd have to install new BT lines to the house as Sky only works off BT lines?

Now this confused me a little as I thought that ALL phone lines in the UK were BT, and simply using another provider was still using BT lines?

As far as I'm aware the only company that uses their own lines is Virgin Media because they use their cable system; everyone else uses BT lines....or so I assumed.

BTW if you have Sky TV and Sky BB you can get Sky Anytime Plus (on demand TV downloaded from the net to your Sky box).
