[QUOTE="vindaloo, post: 542867, member: 246517"] 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 [B]idiots guide[/B] 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 :confused: [I]I am open to any suggestions[/I] and my knowledge is very limited so even if it seems so simple to you, I may not have thought about it! Thanks. Mark [/QUOTE]
