    If I was to upgrade to Sky+, will Sky install the curent Sky box in another room to get the FTA channels?

    Not officially, unless you mention to the installer directly beforehand to see if he'd do it as a nixer.

    I asked my installer to do this on the morning of the install after moving house and he did it no bother at all. Probably better to ask beforehand alright but I wasn't able to as I was dealing directly with Sky so didnt know who would be doing the install. I threw him a few quid for it.

    You could always tell Sky that you want to get multiroom, I think that you get free installation then.

    A couple of days later, while within your cooling off period, change your mind on the multiroom and have it disconnected.

    Is there not a minimum contract term using this method though? Not to mention the phonelines required to connect both boxes...

    I think that there is a minimum, hence the cancelling it before cooling of period expires.

    Other way is to get the installer to put in everything until it comes to the phoneline part, then real in horror as he tells of the phone requirements, and then say that you don't want multiroom and to just do the standard. (By accident this happened to my friend, he had already received both cards, and the second apparently stayed active for multiroom without ever paying for multiroom.)
