I think you may just have to pay for a new dish installation

 

[MrAtego]

Do you need 2 boxes so 2 seperate people can watch sky, or just so you can watch it upstairs?

 

[CJ]

Not new dish, you need another box. I paid £99 for a sky plus box and the other box went upstairs. It's £10pm extra.

 

[Sy]

You have 2 boxes yes, i have sky plus downstairs and my old standard box upstairs. you also need phoneline upstairs

Not new dish, you need another box. I paid £99 for a sky plus box and the other box went upstairs. It's £10pm extra (if you have one or more of the premium packages I think).

Sorry, when i said you may need to pay for new dish install, i meant if you moved.

Ditto that, my mate did that. wish i had!!! his works just fine too.

 

[patty]

[Sy]

12 months, at least it was for us

 

[patty]

aye for the initial contract, but im halfway through, do i have to sign up to another 12 months?

 

[Sy]

Well, we had the normal box downstairs but signed up to sky+ which was 12 month contract. According to wife the box upstairs was then put on another 12 month contract, but 1 thing the warrnaty isn't 12 months its only for the remaining part of the intial 12 months! Is that about as clear as mud? lol

 

[patty]

lol thanks fella...

my mate just found this on sky which confirms it...

"Your Multiroom subscription will provide exactly the same channels that you receive under your current Sky digital subscription. The minimum period for your Multiroom subscription is 12 months."

ah well...

The LNB will have to be changed & cable run through to the other box.

 

[Sy]

Get one of the signal senders mate, cheaper option really plus you can put it anywhere u want then. Just have to watch same as whats on in other room, which sometimes totally defeats multiroom idea. lol

That right. If you get it done make sure they seal it properly mine got water in it. they tried to bill me for a call out!

 

[patty]

[Sy]
