I've multiroom comprising of a Sky+HD box and a 10 year old standard Sky box. I got multiroom in October 2008 when I upgraded to HD and put the old standard sky box in the kid's playroom. I left a 'temporary' phone line to facilitate installation but ripped it out a few days later. I still have the phone line connected to the Sky+HD box for Sky Box Office. In a that space of time, I've never had any contact from Sky in relation multiroom/callback issues. Maybe I've just been lucky....................

In the (almost) 12 months since I've had multiroom, I've never had any contact from Sky in relation to the disconnected box.

Cheapo - don't hold your breath. We have heard abselutely nothing about this since we last posted about it and back then Sky were saying by the end of October. As soon as we know, you'll know

Crosstownk - You're lucky. People normally get warning letters and if they don't connect all boxes to phone lines, the full package sub is direct debited for each box in the household. Long may it last says you

Local agent? Please tell more.

Alot of Shopping Centres have a Sky Kiosk, go to one of them. Or look in your locals papers classified section or yellow pages etc and you'll find someone there. At the moment Local Agents are installing as soon as you get your viewing card ( within seven days ) and swapouts are done normally within five days.

Also, by going to a Local Agent, you are keeping most the business in Ireland.

I was wondering how long it took for that to happen...I find the name throws people off:D:D

And like I said before, as soon as more word comes be assured it will be all over here(and other forums) like a rash (hopefully we have it first hehe)

Apologies. Anyhoot, I went to Liffey Valley today and Francis (a guy:) ) on the booth could not have been more helpful. Not only is my sky HD coming next Monday but he saved me €40 by not going via sky in cork.

Ringing sky direct was costing me €130 but I'm now getting box and installation for €89.

Thanks again wizard.

Nice one

Just an update on this.

True to his word Francis in liffey valley came up with the goods.

2 lads from Interactive Media came out and done a super job on the installation, Would highly recommend taking this route for sky rather that the 3 months sky direct wanted.


Thanks again folks for all the advice.

You're more than welcome
