Sky +

[Hopey79]

This many be a silly question but if you have sky multiroom, does the box have to be connected to the satalitte. I want it in my room but it would be really difficult to get to the satalitte and i can't see my landlord letting another hole be drilled into his wall. TIA

I am a bit confused, you ask about multiroom, and about Sky+, but they are two different things.

Sky+ is a Sky box with a built in hard disk and is different from a "standard" Sky box which does not have a hard disk.

Multiroom is where you have two or more Sky boxes in the same house hold. Each room has to have a sky box (be it a basic Sky box or a Sky+box).

You ask if the Sky box has to be conected to the satellite dish, well if it isn't what could you do with it ? It is how you get your TV signal.

So the answer is Yes, the Sky box (or Sky+ box) has to be connected to the satellite dish.

In the case of a Sky+ box it also needs TWO cables to the satellite dish, so you could record one program while watching another (or record 2 programs at the same time).
