That might be it. Our second box is the Sky+ box (it's in my room) and I know that we only pay £10, which is either the multi room or the Sky+ subscription with the other being free.

I think if you have Sports or Movies package it costs £10 / month for multi-room but you get Sky+ at a reduced rate.

If you have a package over a certain value, you'll get Multi Room for free IIRC.

it's like a tenner extra a month, they match the channel package you already have and i'm almost certain they chucked me in another free box too.

As like its said you need another viewing card anyway and the different receiver.

And Steve you only get 4 chaanel receivers put on if you have SKY+

You can but you would need two reciever thingys on the dish, a second viewing card etc etc
You'd have to pay Sky their £10/month if you wanted it

EDIT: Should of read the other replys first...:o

For 2 sky boxes on one dish you need a dual LNB.

cant you just split the incoming sky signal cable in 2,, run the second cable upstairs to the second sky box, and just switch cards from box to box when required. Thats what i did with NTL digital have 3 boxes around the house now.

Although you could just do what jules said; but thats less functional.

easiest thing is tv link.

Thats what i want :) Hmm maybe just get one of them TVLINK things if i cant get another box in the room without getting sky out

If you're on about getting seperate channels upstairs from downstairs then you'll need Sky to come round and fit another reciever to your dish and they'll charge you, if you mean getting the same signal from downstairs piped upstairs then no need for a second Sky box - just split the signal cable and route it to the upstairs tv.

We have sky down stair in the living room and free view up stair in the bedroom but that isn’t as good as all the channels what we get on sky

What I need to know is how do I go about getting another box working in the bedroom up stair?

I have another sky box here sitting doing nothing so though I would give this bash.. Don’t want to be telling sky about the other box as I think they charge another £10 to £15 on your bill If you have another box in another room

Is it possible? What would I all need?

Thanks. :)
