sky, best deal to get?

[Dean]

just wondering whats the best deal to get to get sky sports in my bedroom?

we have 2 other sky boxes in the house but im sick of having to go to the pub to watch most of the games as other people are watching the tv!

my mate said you can get another box and a good deal because we already have 2 boxes but i cant say iv seen anything on this?

want to get it sorted soon with the champions league being on and that!

The £10 Multiroom fee mirrors whatever channels you get on the main package in the house.

cheers for that, well iv rang sky and basically they said they would install the sky+ box downstairs and give me the box thats downstairs now, which doesnt seem right to me

also i only want skysports 1,2 and prem plus so dont know what to do, need to speak to someone in person really

Just keep in mind that the standard Sky Dish only has a quad LMB, and if you've already got Sky you'll have used all the coaxial connections (I'm assuming both the other boxes are Sky+, which uses 2 coaxial connections, a normal Sky box uses 1).

If this is the case, you'll need to buy an Oct LMB which, suprisingly enough, has 8 coaxial connections. There's a couple of Quads on the 'bay for £10 so I'd guess about £20 for an Oct.

Edit: Hmm, a quick look on Google has revealed that an Oct LMB may not exist! I've got 2 Sky+ boxes and Sky told me that was what I'd need to add any more boxes. How strange!
