I know....all they have to do is plug it in.

BUT it is still a good deal for £135 as i was going to buy a second hand HD box off e-bay but they all sell for about £130 and £10 delivery.......

So i get a BRAND NEW box for less........

Can you not purchase the box and plug it in your self ???

I have std sky, but twin cables installed in the house from the prvious owners, so want a +box, but fook paying them just to plug it in. Can you just plug them in yourself ?

Your ALL missing a usefull option here...

Your £60 install covers installation of the Sky+ box you already own, ANYWHERE in the house if you like. We moved it to teh bedroom.

Its part of the installation fee. That £60 covers any installation, including 2 boxes if required, so just call and make them aware of your plans and they can run the second set of cables into the second room of your choice.
