Sky Multiscreen

Firstly, happy new year everyone! :beer:

I'm just wondering if anyone got any tips for getting discount on Sky Multiroom, looking to get Sky in the bedroom as the signal in the area is poor on a portable Arial.

    They are no longer providing HD+ boxes for new customers, so it's unlikely that they will provide matching multiroom boxes, especially with a discount , even though you are a current customer. Any stock they have will cover people who have the service already.

    Since they are currently pushing Sky Q mini-boxes as a replacement for Multi-Room, I doubt you'll get any discount on a new Sky+HD set up in another room. As already noted, new customers don't even have the option of Sky+HD anymore.

    You might be able to get a discount on Sky Q and minibox, but it will doubtless tie you in to a new eighteen month contract.

    You could always get a magic eye and run an aerial cable from your box to the other TV. It’s a bit of a pain and not quite multi room but it is free and works quite well.

    Multiroom is £12 per month.

    You may get a discount on the cost of the mini boxes buy you'll need to ask and not expect a yes

    We used to have this in the kitchen - works perfectly if you can ignore the cable from the main sky+ box to the kitchen tv.

    We now have SkyQ and it's much better .
