sky + multiroom
 

we are thinking of getting sky + downstairs and moving the digibox upstairs.
There are no telephone sockets in the proposed sky + room and the room we
want the digibox in, has a phone extension from the next room along
connected to an ADSL broadband modem (and PC).
Will this set up prevent us from getting sky multiroom?

thanks for any advice

Multiroom requires both boxes to be connected to the same phone line
at least once or twice a month.

Sky will not install multiroom without the phone connection.

You could use a wireless phone sender.

Well thats rubbish for a start - I had no phone connection to the second
box - the installation guy fitted a phone extension as part of the install -
no charge...

And exactly where in my statement did I suggest that Sky wouldn't
install the phone connection themselves under certain circumstances?
