Hi Fellas,,
apologies if this has been asked (..although I searched first
)
Current equipment: Standard Sony
sky box with 60cm dish and single LNB. I have a magic eye fitted but am very unhappy with the quality on the 2nd tv. I am also in Leicester. (Hope that's covered all bases!)
Basically, my girlfriends parents have just signed up for
sky so we 'introduced' them to get a free
sky+ box. Ideally, I would like a multiroom installation but I would like to have an idea of what I'm talking about before I phone
sky. I'm not sure if they'll install a new dish or just replace the box & LNB.
So, would I be able to buy a 2nd card so I am able to have 2 receivers working independently? I've got a feeling that I would have to pay another subscription fee for this though. Am I right in thinking that each card is matched to the receiver so I cannot take the card upstairs if I wanted to watch tv in bed?
Is there an
idiots guide to a multiswitch on here at all? I'm not sure if one of these would help.
Also, if this is too expensive (subscription-wise, not equipment..I don't mind buying equipment) I don't mind having the standard dish pointing elsewhere, although I don't really know about the viewing card situation with this either. Sorry
I am open to any suggestions and my knowledge is very limited so even if it seems so simple to you, I may not have thought about it!
Thanks. Mark
