Can anyone help? I am looking to get Sky+ upstairs but dont want to spend any more on subscriptions (bah humbug)!! We currently have Sky+ downstairs and I know our dish outside has a quad LNB (I think thats what they call them). Our room upstairs has Sky now but we dont appear to be paying any multiroom for it.
So, if I bought a Sky+ box from ebay and also get two wires running upstairs how do I go about getting it all working (eg: sky cards etc). Will it all work, or have Sky sewn it right up to strangle even more out of us? I know this is a longshot question but just wondering if anybody has been through a similar situation? Cheers.
what about ruling Sky out of it and getting a Freesat+ box then running the two cables to that?
To get more than 4 channels, I think you have to get a card from Sky. They charge about £30.
Can't find it on the website, so you'll probably have to phone them (good luck with that!)

Isn't that if you want to use it as a freeview box.
I bought a 2nd hand Sky+ box recently thinking I could just plug it in and it would work as a recorder with my expired Sky card. It doesn't. You have to pay Sky £10 a month for the privelege of using the record functions (or subscribe). So, £10 a month or a Freesat+ box as mentioned above.
The OP already has a Sky contract though, he just wants it upstairs and downstairs without paying Sky multiroom for it.
do you want to watch and record other programmes upstairs?
Co-ax plus magic-eye would allow you to watch sky in two rooms, albeit the same channel.
contract will only give you one card which can only be paired to one box.
