How to connect a additional sky box to your tv and watch different channels?
-
I have a sky box and would like to put it into a bedroom. But will want to be able to watch different tv from that room. I know you can get multiroom, but sky wants £199 for the sky + box and to install it. Can i connect this myself with the sky box i own? Is there anyway around having to pay £10 a month to watch a different channel from upstairs? Any help would be great thank you

Answer:
fit a quad lnb on your dish you can then run it to another sky box costing about £40 and no extra charge

If you have a Sky+ box tell them you want multiroom which is usually just another digibox (not the plus one) and the cost is an extra £10 per month. Haggle with them rather than just accepting what they want to charge you. The only other option is to cancel which is what I did last June and since then have been harassed with Sky offering me a full package for just £9.50 per month if I come back to them. Every month I get special offers but I have no intention of becoming one of their customers again as the first time was a nightmare and don't want to go through it again.

You will need a multi connector on your LNB (the small thing on the front of your dish ) and connect a new sat cable and run that to the room your need it in then get a new box and subscription or free view card

Do you want ALL the sky channels ? i.e are you happy with the free to air ones... See the list here. http://www.sky.com/shop/freesat/home/ - Freesat from Sky (complete package) http://www.sky.com/shop/freesat/home/what-can-i-watch/ - channels... 240 TV.... You do need a completely new feed from the Sky dish/LNB so that might be a problem if there is no spare one already available You can get a second hand Sky box for 20 pounds off Ebay easily enough.... and then 20 pounds from Fressatfromsky gets you a card to decrypt the few encrypted channels (BBC/ITV/Ch5 etc are not encrypted.. but Pick and some other free ones are) So as above taking a freesat contract (pay once, free forever) might be an option.

the only way is to have freeview channels only on one of the boxes but you will also need to cable from the dish to the new box and change the lnb on the dish as well

I’m afraid not, you need a second box and an additional card.
