You can have up to 4 Sky boxes on one dish, subscription is an extra £10 per month per box | |

if you get sky multiroom is it just for two boxes or can you get a third aswell? | |

you can buy the LNBs, get a twin jobby for 60 odd quid - doesn't take 10 minutes to install, just make sure you don't move the dish much :lol: | |

just let them install multiroom , then as mentioned you will get the SKY+ LNB with 4 feeds and you just swap the box over to SKY+ when you get it and make up your own cable to go from the LNB to the box ,simple as. | |

For Sky+, you need two feeds from the dish to the box, so they will install a quad output LNB anyway. You just need the guy to put another two feeds from the dish to the room where you want the second box. But as said - you will need another viewing card for the second box (if you want to watch subscription services or use the recording features). The box would work on it's own without a card for just watching unencrypted channels (not many). | |

The standard LNB on the dish has got one output, whereas when you upgrade to multiroom, they install one that has 4 outputs. | |

Sky are coming in about 6 hours to upgrade me to Sky+ (I really should goto bed :lol: ) and tonight my mate told me that he'll send me his old Sky+ box from when he upgraded to SkyHD. |
