Sky TV Question

Mr Dave · 9 Nov 2006 at 14:17

Hi all,

I currently have a sky + and multi room subscription to sky. The sky box in my room is a bog standard sky box and i would like to have 2 Sky+ boxes instead. I've been browsing a well known auction site and have seen many sky+ boxes for sale, am i right in thinking i could just buy one of these sky + boxes, insert the viewing card and put it in my room? Or is the viewing card tied to a specific box ??

Thanks

Dave

I think you'd need to have your cabling redone wouldn't you? Sky+ boxes have a connection for each tuner.

Say i was to have the cabling redone, would a sky + box from flebay work with the current viewing card in my multiroom box?

Thanks

After a quick call to Sky, yes.

With regards to the cabling you need to run one additional cable from the LNB on your dish to the Sky+ box. Make sure you use Satellite grade cable, recommend WF100.

It's not too tricky assuming the dish is easily accessible.

you could buy some Webro WF65 is two cables together should fit through existing holes etc
