Multiroom question

Babiesmummy_2

I know this has probably been answered many times before, but can't find the answer.
We are in the process of moving house, need to wait for our landline to be activated before ordering multi-room. We will have HD box in the lounge and a 2nd sky plus box in our bedroom, both will be plugged into the phone sockets, my question is if we have additional sky boxes for the multiroom will these also need to be plugged into the phone sockets ?

TIA

Yes,bith boxes will have to connected to a two-way phoneline (in & out calls)

Can somebody please clarify that after my 1st 2 boxes are hooked upto the phone line that additional boxes (boxes 3,4&5)will also need to be hooked up to a phone line.

(just trying to work out if it is better to get some sort of distribution system for all the tellys or go for multi-room in the rooms that we need it in as we are having multi-room anyway this would be the cheaper option)

Each additional multiroom box with a valid multiroom sub must have it's own telephone line, with £10/month extra per box.

The cheapest option is to link one TV to a TV amplifier with however many ports you need to distribute the signal to other rooms. You will of course only be able to watch whatever is on the Sky box that's sending the signal.

I don't see how paying £10pm for each multiroom box would be cheaper - unless of course you hadn't realised that each multiroom box is £10pm?

Hadn't realised each multiroom was £10, I was speaking to somebody that had 1 x multiroom and another using the Xbox and only paid 1 subscription.

The Xbox can be used to access Sky Player from your Sky.com login. On Demand content can be watched to the level of your current subscription. For live TV, you must also have Sky broadband or a multiroom sub.
