    Hi,

    I have a new SKY HD install including multiroom schedule for next week.

    Can anyone tell me:

    (i) What the best HD box to go for is at the moment?
    (ii) I don’t want to run phone cables, is there a wireless solution I can use for both boxes?

    Thanks,

    BC

    Not sure which box is the best, but I'm pretty sure they wont install if you don't have a phone line!

    You only need a phone line conncected for the install, you can take it out after the install AFAIK!

    I would imagine you have to take whatever box the Sky installer provides! Do they have different models?

    There are wireless phone extenders - here's some - http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page22.htm

    I think you will need a phone, especially for Multiroom, and it has to be connected at all times (to make sure that you still have the 2 boxes!!).
