Sky are not renowned for being reasonable.

Both are BT lines, but can I have the 2 boxes on two different lines at
the
same property & still only pay the £10 m/room sub??

No, they must both be connected to the same telephone number. You could
leave this up to the engineer at the time of the visit, but it could be a
messy job or it could be cancelled, depending on the type of engineer you
get.

Either get BT to extend one line to the other, and as you say the 2nd line
would be better for this. It might not be a big job as they may both go
back to a common point, in which case it would be easy to install one next
to the other.

Alternatively you could try and source yourself an All-in-One SV1500
Wireless Telephone extender, seen here
http://www.accessorystore.co.uk/acatalog/SV1500.html*.
This is priced at £54.99, which would be cheaper than the £120 odd quid
that BT would charge to put an extension in for you. I've seen this work
and seem to be fine. You simply plug it into the phone line at the source,
and also into the mains. The telephone signal is then transmitted around
the electric ring main of the house and can be picked up in whichever
power socket you plug the receiver into.

*I have no affiliation to this site, it was the first site that Google
threw up when searching for 'SV1500' and you may find it cheaper
elsewhere.

i've got something like that as well, and it works faultlessly.
Maplin also sell a similar gizmo, i think its more expensive than that one.

All -

Going to make the upgrade to Sky+, with the multiroom sub. Question is
can
I have the 2nd box plugged into a different phone line? On my main line I
have 2x telephone, sky box (will be replaced by Sky+) and my burglar
alarm.
If the extra sky box goes into this as well I fear I will exceed my REN on
that line

Also, the place where I want the box to go is in the playroom on the lower
ground floor, where the 2nd telephone line comes into the house. The
connection would be so much easier into this line.

Both are BT lines, but can I have the 2 boxes on two different lines at
the
same property & still only pay the £10 m/room sub??

TIA

SalesGuy



Thanks for all the useful info. Sky+ ordered for teh 15th!
