Question

Want to get sky digi, but dont have a phone point near the tv. Don't want to run yet another extension point cause I have dect already. Can you get any equipment that would hook into dect and provide a wireless phone plug in point near a tv ?

Wink

Just run an extension and unplug it after the installer leaves

It only gets used for interactive services anyway.

We have Sky but are renovating the house. Had Sky installed in October and it has not been plugged in to the phone line since then and we have no problems.
So go for it!!
