Sky box keeps switching itself off?

Switching sky plus box with sky multi room?

• i have the sky multi room package and downstairs i have a sky plus box but upstairs i have just a normal sky box (no pause or record). Can i switch the two boxes over so i can record from the upstairs tv and just have the normal sky box downstairs or will that cause problems. Thanks for your help

• Answer:

  The sky+ box has 2 tuners and requires 2 cables from the dish to be connected to function properly.You can move the equipment to where you want it as long as it is hooked up correctly You would have to run a single satallite cable from the dish to the upstairs box location.Connect the existing cable and the newly run cable to the terminals and on your downstairs sky box use one of the existing cables and leave the other unplugged you may want to change it back again later. Another option would be to run 2 coax cables between the 2TV locations. connect one end of one of the cables to the sky+box RF2 output socket and connect the other end of this cable to the RF(Aerial) input socket on your upstairs TV. Run a scan of Analogue channels and you will be able to watch your sky+box signal upstairs as well as the normal sky box . Do the opposite with the other cable and you will be able to watch the normal sky box downstairs as well as the sky+box. You can also fit sky link digi eyes to these feeds to remotely operate each box from either location also you could record 2 programs on the Sky+ box and watch a third program using the other box good luck
