Just had sky multi room installed up stairs in the bed room and the sky HD box won't record or pause live tv etc.

Looking at what I signed up for looks like it's the one I've asked for but can it be upgraded to be able to record in both rooms? Bit disapointed if it's not.

I connected my old sky plus box and viewing is fine but when I try to hit pause it brings up a warning sign saying that action can be taken...

For my bedroom i ran a cable out of the hd box downstairs and use a magic eye in the bedroom therefore no need for multi room.
The multi room i do have is in the extension which i use a sky+ box at no extra cost.

Quite simple really. All you need is some cable, the magic eye, and another remote. Connect the cable to the spare output in the back of the box downstairs, run the cable upstairs into the magic eye which in turn plugs into the back of your upstairs tv.
The magic eye enables you to control the box downstairs from upstairs....magic

For upstairs I just ran a cable from the dish to my bedroom, then bought a freesat hd box. For subscription channels on Sky I just plug my laptop into the tv and use sky go.

Yeah this is what I have. I did have a magic eye thing many moon back but local interfearance would cause the picture to always be snowing or jumpy

Years ago it did used to work wonders though.

It wasn't set up right if it was snowy

It wouldn't of been outside interference you would of been putting the rf2 channel out put on a frequency already occupied from the tv transmitter.
