Sky + Multiroom ??

I have had Sky + installed today - had been thinking of Sky for a while but eventually decided to go for it as have awful reception from aerial due lots of trees around my house :(

I didn/t go for Multiroom and know think maybe i should have as have awful picture on my Bedroom Tv - I have an aerial point and TV is connected to it but reception is rubbish - have tried seperate aerial too and not too good either !

Do I need another box and what will it cost me...will I have to get sky back too? Sorry can/t seem to find the answer on the sky website :confused:


Many Thanks for any help

    We've recently had Sky+ installed. Quite fancied the multiroom but you have to pay a monthly fee so we didn't go with it. With Sky+ it's just a one off payment.

    HTH x :D

    You can connect an aerial cable to the back of your Sky+ box and run it to another TV - I think it's called RF2 out and you have to enable it in the Sky menus (probably in the hidden Installers menu). I used the old aerial wires running around the house to connect things up so I didn't have to install new wires. You have to know a bit about what you are doing or at least research it a bit and think about it. Best place to start is https://www.satcure.com - go to their technical pages.

    See:

    and buy their eBook or a remote link to show your gratitude!
