Upgraded my multiroom, sky had waved HD fee.
Hi in case anyones interested I've just upgraded with Sky and added 2 extra multiroom boxes giving me 4 boxes in total and Sky have waved the install and HD mutliroom sub(its going in September anyway).
Skyworld with 50% loyalty discount£26,
Multiroom X3 £30.75.
HDx1 waved for 12 months
total of £68
For 4 boxes with full sports/movies and HD.
The main info being the multiroomHD fee waved 6 weeks early so anyone holding off to upgrade ring in, it might be worth it. Also if you live in a Virginmedia cable area make sure you tell sky. Although they probably already know, its gets you a better discount,

For one they did not give you £435 a year discount and two you haven't mentioned ESPN so that is not 'full sports'. You also haven't taken into account phone line charges and broadband for your Sky Anytime/+ so the costs do not show the true cost of your TV package.

Sky regularly dish out Sky World half price , just ask on here there are quite a few who have both services.

You need Sky BB to use Sky Anytime+ , however all HD boxes have Sky Anytime which is content you can play instantly like with VM OD.
Sky Anytime is push VOD this means programs are delivered during the early hours VIA satellite to your box and are available to play instantly and many in HD.

Sky Anytime+ requires the Sky subscriber to have Sky BB to deliver the content.

Yes you can only problem is the free Sky BB option only has a 2gb limit which would easily be used with Anytime+ the best option is the Unlimited at 7.50 if you take Sky line rental.

Yeah you can have 2 broadband lines in the same house, Sky uses BT and Virginmedia use the own coax copper to your home.
