Can anyone help me I have just moved back in with my Mum and brought my sky plus box with me in the hope I could have it installed in my room I have just spoken to sky who said I would need to buy another box for £99 or get some body freelance t0 install it for £120 as I have a box i thought it would be simpler and I don't understand why I should buy a new box any ideas?

Have you tried getting your mum to ring up and threaten to cancel whole package if they do not help solve this problem, normally they are really good when you do this. My hubby has done it in past and we got sky plus installed for free just because we said we didnt want sky anymore..bargin!! But a word of warning my brother recently moved back in with mum and dad and had sky plus installed in his room, a couple of months later he moved out with his fiancee and still has to pay sky due to the year contract, they wouldnt let him transfer to new house. Hope thos helps and gets you somewhere :)

Hmmm, my guess is that will mean you need multiroom?  Do you mean you want the Sky Box in your own room?

You'll need to pay an extra £10 per month for sky+ but it's free with multiroom.  (of course it isn't Free but it works on a 'combo deal').  My son wanted Sky+ in his room so we didn't pay for the Sky+ box that was installed for free, but we do have to pay an extra £10 per month as we have Sky Sports.

Does any of that make sense?

However Rubyscharm is right, stamp your feet, threaten to cancel and get a Freeview box, they might then help.  Our dish stopped working recently and they wanted £85 for a service call.  I told them not to bother and to cancel my whole subscription, to which he said "oh, you've now said the magic words", and put me through to someone who first offered the call for half price, then when I stood my ground, free.

Have a look at the sky thread on moneysavingexpert for an eye opener.

Tell them if they don't do it you will go to virgin media!!!!

They'll ive you anything you want within reason!!

Hi

if you have Sky mulitroom do you pay per room. I was thinking about having it in the kitchen and 3 bedrooms but was told that would be a extra £10 per month per room?

Thanks

Wendy

Yes, it is an additional £10/month for each room that you have it in.

thanks, no way am I forking out £40 per month so daughter can watch endless America Next Top Model and son Power ranges lol. I like the cookery channel but not that much :o))

It would be good to have it in my bedroom as there is never anything on at night but to be honest I fall asleep watching it downstairs Ill be worse in bed lol Ill stick with me book

We've just reduced the number of chanels we receive with Virgin - we hardly watch any of them :) Daughter isn't going to be too pleased when she returns from uni next month and heaven help us if she has to live with us for the next year :D :D :D She has got a Freeview box in her bedroom - that will have to do :D :D When we move to Norfolk we'll go to just having Freeview :)

You can as we have use the one box. Get a local guy to run the wiring to each room. The only trouble with this is, that you can't all watch different programs, whatever is on in one room, is on in the next on sky. However, I watch mostly terestial, so it doesn't matter. The advantage is that you can choose in which room that you want to watch sky in and that it'll costs the one subscription.

You can also have one of those digital receivers, "price drop" usually do them fairly cheap but again I think that you only get to view what's on in another room.

Don't talk about me re. this just gone with VirginMedia for TV, Phone and broadband and I can only get the TV working.  The installed it yesterday and won't come out to sort my Broadband out until Monday evening, in the meantime I'm paying them and BT. 

Sorry to be so late picking this up but hubby and i have been considering nultiroom in our bedroom (like I'll watch it when baby arrives) and changing to sky + downstairs so i can wtahc programs during the day cause I'm too tired to wtahc at night.

Anyway hes looked into it and apparantly sky+ is going to to standard as of July! Don't think this alters multiroom but they are apparently phasing out the old sky boxes for sky + so it may be worth  hanging on a few months.

Hiya, ive got a sky+ box in my front room and ive just installed a digibox in my bedroom, i was wondering, how much will it cost to have multiroom plus sky sports a month?

I thought it was just an extre £10 a month to have an extra box?

I have Sky HD (my OH fancied it one year but he can't tell the difference!) and multiroom with skysports package.  It costs me £58 a month.  If you don't keep both boxes plugged into a telephone socket they will charge more.  I used to have the full package - movies etc but cut back when I went to multiroom.  It keeps going up and up - Sky are not my favourite people.  However I will not give up my independence of having a box to record and watch what I want when I want.  I did start to think yesterday though looking at my son's freeview box that can be used for recording that maybe I should do more research into this - I was the only one that used the movie channels before I axed them - now I just rent them instead.  I just realised that the programmes I record now are on BBC or channel 5 - haven't watched anything on Sky itself for a while.
