It costs €15 per month and is independent of what package you have, i.e. you will have the same package in your second room as you have in your first room, unless you upgrade to the full package... That is the deal, I doubt very much that you will get any type of further reduction because you are already a customer... Edit: You might get the box itself free depending on what offers they have at the moment.

I got a deal in january where I got the latest 1TB box for €49. I don`t see any mention of installation costs so you may need to enquire with SKY about this. One other thing to note - in order to get SKY multiroom you will need an active phone landline connected to one of the boxes. The best thing for you to do would be to call SKY and see what their latest offers are (these can differ to the online offers), mention that UPC are cheaper for multiroom and you are considering cancelling and you may be pleasantly surprised as what they offer you.....

We have a landline but I'm not too sure whether it's connected to the sky box. If I was to order the box tomorrow how long would if take to arrive at my house?
Ronan H wrote: » Are you for serious? How is anyone here going to tell you how long it will take? This thread is starting to arouse my trolling suspicions. I think your next move is to call Sky and get some definite information from them. The information you have got here is sound advice so take that to the next level and pull the trigger with Sky on the finer details...

If you think they will have trouble running the phone cable to the new room (ie.you do not want them drilling holes everywhere), you should ask on the phone. They will bring a device that works same as a powerline ethernet adapter (google it) for the phone line run. It is an extra cost. If you ring them to arrange, they will give you a date of install. Typically 5 days. It will be an engineer install. They replaced my old dish, ran the lines, connected to phone and put it a HD box. I cannot remember the install cost but I think it was the €69 quoted above.

Indeed, by virtue of the fact that it is freely available as a mobile app, I imagine it is probably available for free through Sky also. I just never looked into it. It wouldn't make sense for someone to have to subscribe to it via Sky but be able to get it free on a phone?!
