Multi room

I have Sky multi room for normal Sky digital. If I upgrade one box to Sky HD and choose to locate the redundant one in a third room, will sky sky want more money for Sky in three rooms? I think this is possible as the LNB has four outputs to cover two normal boxes and a Sky HD box.

Cheers.

If you want the third box to carry subscription channels then you will need to take out a second £10 multiroom subscription and connect it to the phone line. Apart from that the install should cover the adding of the other two LNB feeds that would be required.

If you just want the extra box to be for freesat then you will need a £20 smartcard from SKY.
