Question for the experts (Tony, etc)

    Situation: I require three seperate sky digital connections:

    ~One digital with sky sports (and possibly sky +)
    ~The other two digital connections with basic package

    I know i will require a quad LNB, but whats the best way to handle the subscriptions (e.g principal subscription, and two mirror subs?, or seperate accounts?)

    Does anyone know the cost of the above? and if there is a better (cheaper) way to achieve the above solution (NTL digital, etc)

    I appreciate some of the experts advice

    Once you can connect all three boxes to the same active phone line then the main sub on the Sky+ box and 2 mirror subs is the way to go. The quad will be able to handle the three boxes. I've got sky+ and two regular boxes running from my dish with no problems.

    How much does that cost? SKY+ and two mirror subs, you must be loaded :)

    Folks I appreciate the advice!

    Aideng: different people would be paying for their subscription as we are definately not loaded!

    Speaking of which a mirror sub is an extra twenty a month? is a second mirror sub another 20 euros a month?

    I pay €15 for the mirror with Sky+


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,092 ✭✭✭ShaneOC


    On the full Sky package so no extra cost for the Sky+ subscription and the mirror sub is €15 per month.

    Never said I had 2 mirror subs ;)

    FTV is wonderful ;)
