    1) Order a mirror sub from Sky.
    It needs a phone line to both boxes but only €15 Euro for a 2nd subscription even if your current on eis over 60 Euro.

    2) Get a non-Sky satellite Receiver. No cost ongoing and all the BBC & ITV (but no C4 or Five and no pay channels). Five different ITV and about 10 different BBC channels apart from all the regional variations.


    3) Get a 2nd hand Sky box without a sub. Channels as per (2) but does interactive Sky and Interactive BBC.

    4) Get a 2nd hand Sky box and order a UK FTV card (free sat from Sky Card) to a UK/NI address. Adds C4, Five and Sky3 to above. No ongoing sub.

    All the above options need a QUAD LNB on the dish arm instead of the single coax outlet model. Each satellite receiver needs its own coax from the LNB at the dish.

    6) Use a video sender or coax from RF2 on Digibox and watch the same channel in bedroom as downstairs with option on either connection to use a sky remote. A 2nd Sky remote and remote sky eye for coax cable can be bought. All the video senders (Argos , Maplin etc from 60 Euro) will work with existing or purchased Sky remote.


    7) Get a separate 88cm or 110cm dish, motor, satellite receiver, LNB etc from about 300 Euro inc all parts. Receives all the free Sky channels (inc all BBC & ITV) AND free channels from about 22 other satellites, some in English, many pop video and some sport all legitimate free.

    8) GEt option 2 or 7 with a CI slot, CAM and legitimate pay TV subscription to some supplier other than Sky. No Sky channels unless option 7 motorised.

    9) Get a full second sub without phone line. Full price

    10) GEt a second Sky box and take the viewing card to bed. The premium channels won't work as card is "married" or paired with box for them
