Sorry another question for the sky peeps.

I have sky multiroom with the sky+ being upstairs, if i were to buy a sky+ and change the lnb could i run this downstairs or do i need to inform sky for them to activate it?

Thanks

run the line, plug in the box, ring sky and ask them to activate the sky plus function and they pair your card to the box.

recently did this myself.

you dont need to change the lnb unless you have more than just the sky+ and one multi-room box, there'll be another ouptut on the lnb for the, so 2 for each of the sky+

just call sky and give them the box details and they'll switch on the recording!

Sweet, cheers mate

Yeah i thought my lnb was a quad so no need to change that do they charge for activating the box? do they get funny about doing it?

yes, they charge if you are going to use multi room
another tenner
they'll also ask to make the card you are using first the main card and the second one they'll send out the secondary one
plus you'll need phone lines in or sometimes you willget a letter saying you need to pay more money or some shit

Is that just for multi room?

I've had sky for years, and sky+ for a few months and never have phone lines connected never had a letter of them either.

(I would, but lil man likes to connect to sky games all the time lol)

You will already be paying the £10 for multi-room so you wont get charged any more.

No charge for activating the box, and no, they dont bother about doing it, people do it all the time. They won't need to alter which card is primary/secondary either

If you have multi-room, part of the terms & conditions of that is to have both boxes connected to the phone line - you WILL get charged full price for 2 subscriptions (instead of the second for £10 a month). This doesnt happen straight away, but you will get warning letters to sort it out. If you think you've sorted it - PHONE THEM TO CHECK! Don't just assume it's sorted, cos there can be loads of different reasons it's not working.

You can set up your PIN number to be activated any time someone tries to connect online:

1. Press Services
2. Got to option 3 "Parental Control"
3. Put your PIN number in
4. Go to "Other Restrictions"
5. The first option there is "PIN entry before going online". Change that to "On" by pressing left or right arrow key.
6. Save new settings

Hope this helps

and do this too:

press services
system set up
system test

to see if a phone line is connected

when i got the hd box i plugged the phone line into the isdn line and not the phone line so it was showing up as not connected
