Sky Query

Not convinced this is the right place for this q, but hopefully one of you knowledgeable lot might be able to help me anyway.

We have a multi-room subscription....Sky+ in the living room and the ordinary Sky box in the bedroom (obviously 2 cards, one in each box). If a Sky box office film is booked via remote on ordinary Sky box in bedroom for example, will it be able to be watched via Sky+ on main tv too?

I assume both cards are linked so having paid for a movie, both boxes on the same phone line should be able to receive the unencrypted signal? Just want to double check before I shell out. :)

    Interesting query - I think (stress - think) that your box rings sky during the night and tells them if you have watched a box office movie that day. If both boxes did this, hopefully sky's computers would be smart enough to figure out it is the same film and not charge you twice.

    I don't know why I think this though, so...

    it should do.. i'm in the same position with Sky+ multiroom. Ordered PRem Plus season ticket upstairs and watched the match downstairs. Can't see it working any different as it charges the same account

    Maybe doesn't help you but that works on Telewest cable.

    You can buy movies etc and their systems work it out.

    Sky "should" do the same.
