Irish Sky viewing card in UK with a self purchased box?

    Hi All,

    Just moved to the UK few months back and looking to get Sky into my apartment. £35 per month for basic package with broadband over here at the moment. But I was thinking over the weekend...

    Have a house back in Ireland which has full package. Could I apply for an extra viewing card, say I bought a box myself and use the card over here in the UK? I live in an apartment block that has a shared dish for all users. I might be a bit dumb when it comes to this but is it a case of plugging the dish in, sticking the card in a hey presto?

    I'm a bit concerned about the whole "your box must be connected to a phone line" saga... €8 or something like that for a multiroom card! which is a hell of a lot better than £35 for basic channels!

    Any thoughts would be appreciated....
    Cheers guys!

    Muti room will not work as both boxes must be connected to the same phoneline otherwise you will be charged full subscription.

    Thanks for your prompt reply...

    I'm not doubting your knowledge, but a friend of mine at work has done this with his parents (he gave his parents the multiroom) and they live 120 miles away??

    He will be charged full price as soon as the call back fails and lets be honest if you thought it was ok you would hardly have posted on here :)
