If you want to put another sky box in another room do you need a card in the second box?
Not usin sky multi room.

afraid so

But you can buy one from Sky. They're £25 and give you all the freeview channels.

It's called "Freesat from Sky" opposed to the similar Freesat - a different service.

Not the cheapest route but it's what I've done in the bedroom and if you already have the equipment and or can install the coaxial feed yourself...

Thouht so, thanks for the reply.

yep, freesat card, £20 + post, gives all the freeview channels.
or multiroom at £10 a month, gives you all the channels as you got on your main telly

If you put one of these cards in, Sky+ functionality won't work on that box...

i.e. SkyPlus box + freesat card = no record functionality

No you can have sky+ in another room free.

Ive got sky in the conservatory and kitchen by going into the options and opening the other video out source, running a seperate video out too the kitchen and conservatory. and then too get it up stairs i use a lidl video/remote sender for £7.99

get your self too screw fix and lidl man, it will cost you bout £20 all in.

whats the point of multi room, unless u aint talking too your missus.

You don't actually need a card. Without a card you'll still get all the free channels. The only thing the "freesat from sky" card gives is localised regional TV (itv/bbc is london by default) and channel 5, though I think that can be added as "extra channels" anyway in the menu.
