Splitting a multiroom Sky subscription

[danvitale]

Hi all. Im going to be moving to my own flat in the next couple of months. Basically we have a multiroom Sky sub with my box (SkyHD) and a normal digi box downstairs.

What Id like to do is take my SkyHD box over to my new flat (already has two satellite feeds), keep my viewing card (so I can watch my existing recordings) while setting up a new Sky account for me.

Is this a common request and has anyone here done anything similar?

Thanks for your thoughts

Is the account in your name? If so cancel multiroom, ring Sky to change address etc and get a new account for the standard box at the old address.

Usually Sky will issue a new card for a new account and deactivate your old card which means your old recordings will be inaccessable.
