no they wont, to have 2 boxes from sky you will need a landline and have both boxes connected to that same line

As Ansem says you need an active phoneline and all boxes must be connected to it for multi-room...

dave , what if you phone line hides its number calling out ?
like my talk talk , then sky cant know both boxs are on the same line can they?

guys i hae sky multiroom i had to pay ?30 t have it activated cus he couldnt run a line to my phone as it was over 50 meters just give them a ring and see what they say?
if they dont i think u will find they offer a free landline anywyas so dont worry about it

[Ansem]

Problem is the op does not have a landline to activate card

its in the contract to have a landline connected to both boxes for the 1st 12 months

it may be in the contract but my box hasn't been connected for 10 months and they haven't issued anything..

the engineer when he first came to my old house didn't have enough cable to run off to my telephone socket..

since then I've moved, I've also told Sky that I have moved, box still not connected to the phone line (Sky HD+ Box)

was talking to sky today about multiroom, was told that the only way i could have multiroom was to have both boxes connected to a landline that is listed. if your number is not listed they wont connect you. the reason for this is, that you could give the new box and card to someone else and the would never know that the box has left the premises. otherwise its a full subscription

Sky Multiroom, both boxes must be connected to a phone line for the whole time you have it. The 12 month is only applicable when you have 1 box and the one off payment is only allowed when you have one box.

Failing to have other other boxes connected will result in a full sub being paid on the MR sub.

It happened to my parents. Sky sent out a 3rd party installer and the clown ran a extension to activate then removed it.

So 2 months after this sky decided to hike the sub up to a full sub. For some reason my parents never noticed this but finally after 10 months just b4 end of the contract they did.

Sky were not going to pay it back but after some phone calls and threats to them, as they did not follow the proper warnings before billing, I managed to get it backdated.

Ended up a nice wee saving scheme for them

my brother is having sky multiroom installed today without a landline
the sub contractor for sky is activating the boxes and cards in another house that hes doing an install in before hand

lets see what happens then
