getting sky in another room?

[ShiWarrior]

I'm quite confused with this SKY lark

thing is, we don't have an aerial anymore, and I've been using a loft aerial

as I am now getting my new TV tomorrow id like to get more channels etc.


we currently have SKY+ (I think its the + one) in the main living room

I would like to get SKY+ in my bedroom and watch different channels to what they watch and also record and pause live TV like they do

My new TV will have two tuners, Freeview HD and freesat HD

what is the cheapest and best solution?

If you want Sky+ in another room with the ability to watch different channels then you'll need Multiroom, Coaxial cable in the room and another Sky+ box.

on the sky website if you go to compare boxes, there a "multiroom" box but doesn't offer anything other than watch sky, would this be the only box that will work if I get multiroom or can you just use any sky+ box?

If you are considering purchasing multi room, then sky will more than likely give you an HD box for your main room and you can move the + box to the bedroom.

The Multiscreen box doesn't allow you to record or watch catch up etc. I would personally buy a Sky+HD box and then move your Sky+ box upstairs.

not sure if downstairs is a HD box or not, I will need to check

Sky can install a Sky+HD box for you when you take Multiscreen as they call it now.

ok, had a check and the main box is the new Sky+ HD box
