I live in a flat with only one Sky connector, therefore making Sky+ use a bit of a pain.
The management company come down hard on people installing their own dishes (kinda with them on that for aesthetic reasons) but seem to be dragging their feet on provisioning Sky + (i.e. a second cable).
My latest mail exchange with the Management Company has them saying that Sky are close to offering Sky + over one cable, and they are waiting for this, rather than provisioning a second cable to flats. They say Sky will not be offering this for another six months at least.
Does anyone know anything about this?
I want to go back to them saying just get on and stick a second cable in, but would like some info on the Sky+ (and HD?) through a single cable.
Presumably (?!) this would need a replacement of the current cable with a unicable - would it also need a new design of Sky+ box to split the cable between the two tuners, or would it effectively need a 'destacker' at the 'client' end?
Anyone know anything about Sky's plans in this area (and timescales?)?
