You would need to contact sky and they will charge you an arm and a leg to install it plus you need a telephone line in that room.

Have you a Xbox if so you can use this as your MRV as you can get Sky Go on that ( this is what I use ) or maybe just watch it on your laptop you can also view your sky on this just register your details on line

Yeah I have an Xbox hooked up to the Internet here in the room? I called them and they said it would cost 15 euro a month for it. F that..... We have been customers for 15 years on the best package and given them thousands of euro in that times on payments. Absolutely ridiculous, I told her I was going to buy my own box and all I need was a viewing card and it is still 15 a month. Absolutely scandulous! I let her know how ridiculous it was, all I want is sky sports news in my room and already paying for top package with two boxes. Seriously annoyed with that

Sky Go is free on X Box so long as you already have a Sky sub,so whoever told you there's a charge is talking nonsense.I think you need an X Box live gold account,you can also use Sky Go on your laptop.

No they didn't say anything about a charge for sky go, they said it would cost 15 for the monthly service with a viewing card. I have Xbox live gold membership, I can't find skygo though? I must go home and have another look for it!
