non techy blonde needs help

littleD

Hi, I could use some help here as a non techy person!
I have recently subscribed to Sky plus and have the box in the back room which stores any programmes I want to watch. In the front room I pay for another box which receives sky but doesn't have the store facility. I have, in the front room a Samsung DVD-VR350 DVD Recorder/VCR Combi, which works fine with the TV but if I am in the front room I can't watch any programmes stored on my Sky box in the back room (sorry, hope you're still with me) I had the idea that if I buy a DVD recorder, (another Samsung DVD-VR350 DVD Recorder/VCR Combi) then I can download Sky programmes stored in the back room and then watch the DVD in the front room. God, is there an easier (less expensive) way around this or do I need to go out and buy another Samsung DVD-VR350 DVD Recorder/VCR Combi. Thanks in anticipation!

There are several things you could do.
1 Relocate you Sky+ box to your front room, assuming that is where you usually view your programmes.
2 Replace your standard Sky Box with another Sky + box.
3 Run a cable from the Sky+ RF2 output to your second TV, by a magic eye controller and watch the Sky+ recordings from your front room. This is the cheapest way of doing things. You can buy these from Tesco and the like.

Slightly lost - have you got multiroom? If so ring Sky and say you're thinking of cancelling and hang out for another Sky + box for the front room. If you haven't got multiroom, its £10 per month and if you haggle right you can get a Sky + box out of them for it.
