Skyplus / sky+ multiroom help & advice

Options
I have sky+ and minimum subscription at my house. I am renting and moving to my parents for a while. My parents have sky+ in one roonm and normal skybox in the other. Can I cancel my sky+ and take the box to my parents and use the sky+ instead of the old skybox?

Is this possible?

    i'm making an assumption, that your parents already have multiroom, with the skybox.. so the way i see this working out is that
    you can cancel your sky+ at your current house, and take your box with you.. you'd probably have to pay a sky person, or local installer, to come round and cable up, for a sky+ box, (which is 2 wires, not 1 like a normal sky box) and then inform sky, you want to add it as a sky+ box, thus giving your parents no extra outlay in cost, but 2 sky+ boxes..

    or, you can add your box onto the subscription, and pay £10 a month for another sky multiroom subscription

    make sense?

    I think so - I have a sky guy who could fit this for me locally, but I dont want to incur a further subscription - my parents pay £10 for multiroom already and I just want to switch the boxes have sky+ functions (as I will record different programs from them) and presumably move the card from there skybox to my sky+

    I presume this will work?.........
