Hi
I understand that $ky multiroom requires a permanent phone line connection and viewing cards inserted at all times.
However, my parents want English TV in their Italian holiday home for their short visits of 1 to 2 weeks evey few months or so.
Would it be possible for me to increase my current $ky full package subscription to a multiroom subscription and lend my parents the extra viewing card for their short holiday trips then return the card back to the valid $ky box when they are not on holiday? I was hoping for my parents to use the $ky viewing card in a non updating technomate box with a decyption CAM [diablo/TREX]. I am hoping this short offline period of the multiroom box would still suffice any card update and $ky multiroom box connection monitoring requirements.
Italy is outside the Astra 2d footprint so channels received would only be the $ky subscriber channels e.g. $ky Sports, Movies, UK TV Gold etc. Would the Technomate box and respective CAM decode these subscriber $ky channels.
If any one has any experience of such a set up or sees and major problems with my plan then your advice would be much appreciated?
