    Will the guys install it as standard instalation or would they be awkward about it. The walls are quite thick. I was thinking of getting Sky+ with Multiroom. The Sky+ would be going in my room which is normal walls so that wouldnt be a problem but its the multiroom that would be going in the sitting room. Would this be a real problem for them to install?

    Edit: Can I upgrade to Multiroom afterwards or can it only be done with the initial install?
    Thanks guys

    Well, you can choose to just get Sky/Sky+ for now, and upgrade to Multiroom later (though it maybe cheaper to do both at the same time?)

    As for the stone walls, they could pose a problem for the installers. It's unlikely that they will be carrying a drillbit long enough to go through a stone wall, only options would be through the window or from the roofspace down through the ceiling. However, they'd still need to be able to get cables into the attic, and that's somewhere that is usually out of bounds for Sky installers, as they're not insured for attic crawling.

    How about through the door or window frame?

    Thats what I was thinking all right. Thanks for the info. I wonder could I wait and see if they would do it but tell them to take an extra box and cables with them so that if they are able to do it then they can hook it up. I think that would be unlikely though.

    I ran the cables myself, the installer was in and out in 1 hour.
