extra boxes?
 

We have a sky digi box downstairs but my son is talking about getting
sky+ put in his room. Is there a way of doing this as a multiroom
setup? Anyone any idea of charges etc?

Shouldn't be any problem. Make the Sky+ box the primary one and the old
box multiroom with a new card. The Sky+ box should be available for
£300 if you haggle a bit - maybe even less. Sky+ will cost you £10 per
month unless you have two premier subscriptions (e.g. both Sky Movies
packages). Plus £10 for the multiroom.

Remember that both boxes have to be connected to your phone line at all
times. Sky will insist on this and will check periodically (to make
sure you haven't sold the old box and its card to someone else).

Then you'll be even less impressed by the 2 coaxial cables coming from the
LNB to feed the Sky+ box.

Only want one sky box and one sky+ altogether and we already have the
sky box, so only need the sky= installed

However, Sky+ box has 2 feeds.... so your lnb will be changed to a
quad.. and then 3 cables will be connected to it.. 2 for sky+ and one
for the other sky box...

Don't worry, Paul, there's a thing called CableTidy. It worked for me. Some
"Pound" shops do it for about £3,
