Sky TV in another room with spare box?

Quick question..

I have an old sky box from my parents, and currently in my house I run sky tv in the lounge.

Now I have all the correct cables running from the lounge to the bedroom (where I want this spare box). Is it a case of just plugging it all in?Also this spare box obviously has a different Sky card so do I need to request a 2nd one from Sky?

I understand that by doing it this way the spare box will only be able to watch what the main box downstairs is watching.

Thanks

I think you will need a dish with twin LNB to run two STBs.

If you subscribe to multiroom you can watch any channel you want with a 2nd feed from the dish and it'll cost you £10 a month. If you only want to watch the same channel as your main box you need to get a thing called a 'Magic Eye' which you can get from sky.
