[QUOTE="smoggy07, post: 769852, member: 298987"] When I subscribed to multiroom they came and installed it free and have me a free box but as far as I know, the first box is free then it`s £49 per extra box on top of that (so you`re looking at £100 before any install charges they want to add if you get sky to do it) As far as the cabling is concerned, sky can only drill external walls anyway so the cable would need to be routed outside (unless there was holes indoors for the cable to run through) but as long as it`s not a big big job you should get away with no charges at all (unless they charge for the install) - non standard installs cost extra but they dont tell you upfront what non-standard is again touching on the phone line, if there is already an extention coming off the master socket and it is quite a distance away from the master socket, say, the other side of the house, and the broadband he has now (assuming it comes down a landline) is running fine, you might get away with plugging the boxes into the extention but I wouldnt hold my breath, to be honest though, I have mutiroom and the only time either of my sky boxes have seen a phone line is when the cards where activated and my brother inlaw has been out in spain for a few years now, he has sky and 2 or 3 mutiroom boxes and theyre never plugged into a phone line, not even to activate the cards so you shouldnt even need to plug the boxes in [/QUOTE]
