Sky Multiroom

[Viperzs]

Morning ladies,

At home we've got the full sky HD package but I want to have sky HD in my bedroom as well so I can get the F1 Channel up there.

Does anyone know any way to get multiroom without paying the Sky price of £3 million per month?

Unless you 'know someone', then you will not be able to get away without a new Viewing card that is valid.

I think it isn't that much more to be honest - think we pay around £70pm for multi room and pretty much everything you can get I think....

I did end up using a 'spare' large Hard Disk until I upgraded but as long as I had two paid for viewing cards, they didnt care what I did - funny enough

I don't mind paying for the box or something but I'm less keen to pay the full subscription charge.

Magic eye arrangement? - I have that and works fine. You'll need a feed from your main box up to bedroom though.

Make sure you can connect it to a working telephone line, otherwise you won't be to use some of the features of the box and there will also be an additional charge as well each month.

Magic Eye looks interesting. Does it allow each TV to watch separate channels?

Phone socket could be an issue though as there isn't one in my room

Magic eye is simply a receiver that allows you to watch the same channel and box functions on your upstairs tv, with multiroom you can put a separate hd box in another room, you also get a quad lnb and and wires fed from it to each box meaning you can record upto 2 channels from each box at the same time.

It's to stop people from using boxes at separate addresses instead of taking out a full price subscription.

I don't know about HD, but on SD the magic eye system works over the RF cable, won't you need a second HD feed going to the second TV?

All the magic eye does is let you control the box from another room. Obviously both TV's being fed from the one box can only watch the one channel.

We have multiroom, with each box feeding another TV with magic eye. Our living room Sky feeds the kitchen, the kids playroom sky feeds our bedroom.

There is another post on this were I said I got HD for £2.50/month by cancelling, someone else got multiroom for £5/month
