When you say newest how new is that? The main box is from this years contract (Sky+ HD box) and the multiroom box is from last years contract (Sky+ HD box) so about 1 and 13 months old respectively, both machines are the exact same models as far as i can tell.

They need to be the latest Amstrad models. If you have the relevant models you should already have (or will receive very soon) "On Demand" instead of "Anytime+"

Hi, have just got a Sky+ HD box with Sky Anytime and have just found out that I'm not connected to Anytime as yet.
I do have a plug in the socket behind my TV which allows me to access the internet on my TV (homeplug?); how do I get my new Sky box to link to that please?
Thanks
Lynne

Never used one but what about one of these?

Just an ethernet cable into the ethernet socket in the Sky+HD box.

However, if you need to keep the TV itself connected, a 'hub' like that suggested by penrhyn would be needed.

I tried another way. Ordered two adapters from sky for two boxes. Paid the twenty quid but they agreed to give me a twenty pound credit. Can't complain. Good service b

Yep as I advised in a previous post......I got mine for free. Just phoned Sky and had a polite conversation with their customer services agent and hey presto..offered an adaptor for free.

I have just tried the polite conversation route to no avail ! Anyway £9.99 is still a good price.

I do think the Box was deliberately over-priced at launch to make the current "discount" seem like a tremendous bargain. I would also imagine the next generation of Sky receivers will have this technology built into them.
Regardless, I get a rock-solid internet connection for Sky On Demand with Homeplugs.

Oh yes...but did you try "I got Sky on the understanding that I could get Sky on demand for free" and/or "I am disappointed that you are asking me to pay £9.99 for Sky Demand when VM are offering the same package for free" and/or "I am disappointed that you are asking me to pay £9.99 for Sky Demand when I can get this free on Freeview boxes" ?

Just need to think of wot to say before you make the call.:)

I am usually very good at getting freebies/discounts.;)

I tried the, "My friend got one free last week" ruse. I was told by the nice chap " I would get the sack if my boss found out I was giving them away."

Anyway I have had two new Sky + HD boxes in the past couple of months so I am happy. Worth checking your account on My Sky, it was in there in August and again this month.
