nez75 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hi everyone. I just have a question about Sky multi room and i'd really appreciate your advice. We're thinking about upgrading to sky multiroom but before we buy a TV for my bedroom I was wondering if I need to connect the new TV to the outside aerial on the roof to recieve Sky or can you just recieve pictures through the sky dish and box without being connected to a standard TV aerial outside. Cheers for the reply's in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You only need to connect to the Sky dish . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xircon Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You don't need an arial connection to run sky, but its useful for those occasions you lose sky signal (bad weather etc etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsyouruncle Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 What Sky will do with a Multi-room subscription is: remove the single existing LNB from the dish, replace it with a twin LNB, and run another co-ax cable from it to the 2nd Sky box, which (like has already been said) simply connects to the 2nd tv, you will require a multi-room subscription £10, plus a 2nd sky box, from sky, £49. If you have a 2nd box already, they wont do it, we've tried, some excuse blah blah blah. But I would recommend an indoor aerial for the tv just in case!

nez75 Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for you reply's. Where can I arrange for someone to wire the new TV to the aerial? And how much does it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynic Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by just in case? Just in case of bad weather, Sky faulty etc. Regular TV is a lot more reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
