Sly and Multiroom

[setfiretorain]

My mates looking to get sky in with the multiroom.

He want to use his multiroom card " unofficially " and use his main box and take that to his home in greece where he stays 6months a year.

Does anyone have any advice of if this is safe ? and if possible without a phone line ?

in theory they insist on the second box being plugged into the U.K. phone landline so they can "test" to ensure it stays where it should be located, at the address in question, so in theory they would know if its not there and would insist its plugged back in, and turn the card off if its not

they do this to prevent what you mate wants to do

as for is it safe, it may be safe, but its definitely in breach of contract

so it all depends if he wishes to take the risk

Whats the worst could happen - and could I say I've been on holiday and boxes where off ?

brother had multiroom installed in ireland with no phone line in his house technican paired the box in another house he was doing an install in

Sky will normally or they should letter you twice about the boxes not being plugged in.

After the 2nd letter you will find that you will be charged for 2 subs and not the discounted ?10

Its a chance you take, I know some that get away with it and ppl that haven't.

Every box when using multiroom must be connected.

So I would take it and do it, then just watch the bills and for letters.

You will find that most 3rd part do stuff like that, or in my parents case didnt bother their arse and left the boxes unconnected other than the living room.

My parents didnt even realise but they were being double billed for 7 months.

Took me a month for them to give in and refund it.

The onus is alway on you to make sure they are connected.

Worth a pop, see if they send him a letter haha.

I don't understand, Why does he need multiroom, if he is going to his holiday home for six months why not just take his one main box with him, ...My sky box has never had phone line plugged in, had sky 8yrs.

I think you need to re-read the first post from the OP why he wants Multiroom and the word in particular 'unofficially'

[Rodbouy]

if you only have one box it doesnt matter as nothing can be done.

The reason that you must have all boxes connected when using mutiroom is to stop giving it to a friend or familiy.

This is when they charge you say ?140 a month for 2 boxes and not ?80 a month.

Mine has never been plugged in and never will be as I dont buy movies but I dont have multiroom.

Some get caught some dont, its the chance you take.

Hes going to risk it - worst comes to worse they'll cancell subs .
