    I need some advice please .

    Currently have sky at the moment and would like to get multi room but am unwilling to cough up the additional subscription charge .

    Just wondering can I purchase an additional digi box for my second TV and get around the problem of the subscription . I presume I need another sky card for the 2cd box . Would their be a problem asking sky to send out another one ??????? or is there a way round it.

    No. Cough up the extra fee or do without.

    Sky are not that Kind, if you want multi room you have to pay for it. You could buy a second hand box and just watch Fta channels BBC or a load of shopping channels and maybe ITV soon.

    I suppose you know you could have multiroom by feeding coax to the other room/s via rf out at the back of the box. Only one drawback is everyone will have to watch the same channel!!!

    yes, it would give you only Channel 4 and five as extras
    plus ITV2 has been spotted on FTV but whether or not that is permanent who knows

    Never connect a box with a FTV card to a phone line in the ROI.
