Hi guys.

Going to get sky+ and Multiroom.
Couple of "hicups" on the Sky site when looking to order.

Problem 1) We need a total of 3 sky+ box's but on the sky website will only let you add 2 box's. is this the rules of sky+ ?
PS- we need sky+box for main room. then 2 other box's for other rooms.

problem 2) Although it may not be a problem. the sky+box in the living room will be connected to the phone line for the first 12 months. Do all the other box's have to be connected to a phone line also?

thanks if you can help.

andy ... :)

Sky uses the phone line check to ensure that all the boxes are in the same house and that you haven't sneakily let the neighbours have the boxes and share the cut price subscriptions. All the boxes must be on the same phone line as well, they cannot be split between multiple ones.

but i can use a phone phone extension to the same line right?

1) You can have up to 4 Sky+ Boxes on one dish with an Octo LNB. You may have to phone Sky to place your order for 3 boxes if the Sky Site won't let you order more than 2.

2) All boxes on Multiroom must be connected to you telephone line at all times. Sky will do call backs to your boxes to make sure that this is the case. After threatening letters they will then charge you full price for the Multiroom boxes if you do not comply.

thanks also

I need sky plus from march onwards whats the secret deal?

according to avforums ect in februrary they are going to be offering "something" free for 6 months and also from feb 13th onwards no matter what package you are on sky+ will not be any extra.
I suppose this is because you can get PVR freeview box's these days so they had to abolish the charge.
