This is my first post here, so if i have put this in the wrong section - sorry about that. Bloke i've done some Electrical work for has asked me to install some Sky equipment for him. He already has SKY (SD) in one room and has basic SKY package, but no movies or sports, he wants SKY (SD) in three other rooms. He wants all 4 SKY boxes to be independant of each other, so no option for MAGIC EYE (i guess ???). I have told him that i will need to upgrade the LNB and run seperate sat coax to each new screened output. Now, i need some advice on the subscription side of things - he wants the same package on the other 3 SKY boxes as the one he has already, will SKY give him another 3 cards the same as the one he has or does he have to pay SKY extra. Only other info i have is that he is taking the 'phone and internet over to SKY also and does not want HD service and does not want SKY PLUS either. Is obtaining some dodgy SKY cards an option maybe - what would be involved with that option? I'm not sure if he would want to do that anyway. I have also been looking at the multiroom option on the SKY site - this could be an idea, but if i'm correct, he will also need a 'phone line installed at each box - and this, i know he will not want to have done, unless sky will put them in for free when he takes the 'phone & internet over to them - any advice on this also please. He specifically wants the same package on all boxes as the one he has currently and does not want only freesat channels. (I have only installed Freesat up to now in addition to my Electrical work (I am a fully qualified electrician by trade) so the SKY subscription side is a mystery to me) Many Thanks in advance.
