Can you get Sky Multi-Room without paying?
Is it possible to set up multi-room without paying Sky the £10 a month cost?
I have a regular Sky dish and box in the lounge and currently use a TV sender unit to beam the signal upstairs to the office room TV, but now Im using wireless broadband this inteferes with the sender signal.
I have a spare sky box and sky viewing card, can I set this up in the office? Is it possible to connect like multi-room? If it can be done how?
Thanks

When I went multi-room they had to register the card as a multi-room card.. Before I got it registered it just acted like a free view box....

You could wire it - You could pop it out through the coax output on the sky box and then into the TV in whatever room.
If you want to do it properly - - Put in a Coax socket in the wall by the sky box and channel it in the wall though to whatever rooms you want it in - Then you just plug the aerial lead in and tune the telly in.
Of course this means you are stuck with whatever channel the skybox has on.

yes you can. you will need 2 satellite boxes that are linux based and become a member of a card sharing group. as the channel is chosen on either box it uses your internet connection to access the card share server, downloads what ever code it needs to clear the channel. sky are the worst for needing codes. a server can be hit every 7-8 seconds by all user who are viewing sky at the time. but it is possible to have 100s share one sky card. all original cards can be shared, Taquilla, ABSat, D+, Canal+, Digitalb and numerous other educational channels that start after midnight

I plugged in the spare sky box yesterday, connected it to the phone line, and ran a scart lead from the box to the TV, but it said no signal! Would seem like I need to run a ariel cable from the either the dish or the where it comes thru the wall in the lounge.

seehere for Dreambox or here for the Relook 400.
I own all of these boxes and all have their pros and cons. The Relook 400 is superb but has nowhere near the number of images available as say the dreambox.
