What is the purpose for the stupidty of plugging in boxes to the lines?

with multiroom it's so they know box 2 isnt in your aunt ednas house at a
cut rate.

But they'll only get £10pm from it, whether its still at your house, or
aunt Edna's. If they tried charging people two full subs in those
circumstances, I suspect most people would tell them to FOAD.

People can do that if they like, but it doesn't affect the next stage of
the process which is that multiroom is immediately halted and only the
first viewing card works. HTH

Going off at a tangent, the reason I still have plain Sky boxes, is that
a stand-alone DVD/HD recorder gives more flexibility - you can choose
the recording quality, copying recordings is easier, plus (until
recently) there was the extra £10pm cost.

Its not flexible enough to watch one channel and record another though
- which is where $ky+ wins.

But given how often programs are repeated on Sky, that's not really a
problem.
