Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

Magic eye is a possibility for multiroom but you can't watch 2 different things at the same time with this.

Just passes the signal from one of the boxes to another location.

Also, my router signal doesn't reach far enough.

Octo lnb's are about £20 on ebay.
For multiroom both boxes need to be connected to the same phone line to avoid abuse.

Cheers Dino. Will look into Octo lnb.

I don't have my box connected to the phone line. (logistics/paranoia problems) Paid waiver fee for original set up.

For Sky Multiroom you will need a fixed landline connected to both boxes, if you do not you run the risk of being charged full price for your multiroom card instead of the £10 per month.
BTW, new type LNB's use a different fixing, you may need to get an adaptor with your Octo.

Meh, as long as you connect a phoneline to your multi room box once every few months there is no issue. You don't need to have them connected permanently, the box just needs to be able to do a call back from the land line once every so often.

Even if my original box isn't connected?

How often do I need to connect, and for how long?

your original box will need to be connected as well, every now and again. If you connect the phoneline (I use an extension cord every now and again that I just plug in)...reboot the box and the first thing the box does is a call back to Sky. It's all automated and intitiated from the box these days. I ussually leave it in for about 30 minutes. Job done.

Even if my original box was NEVER connected and I paid a waiver?

How often do I need to connect?

Please.

Only if you've got multiroom. If not, you never need to connect.

Wheres the link for this info, re- dialling out on reboot, and being automated from the box? Just wondering as it would help me out if this can be actually confirmed, rather than just made up?

I have no link for this, Sky always tells everyone to keep their boxes connected. People that work at Sky however tell me that this is the way the system works and this is confirmed by me having done it this way for over 2 years now. Sky don't phone your box, your box does a call back to Sky (which, if you think about it, makes a lot more sense.
