Sky MultiRoom - Any installers on here?
I have SKYHD and have been a sky customer since the analog days! I want to get multi room installed but the upstairs bedroom is in a converted loft space and has NO external walls (I.e. the main wall backs onto neighbour, roof is accessible but not at floor level.)
What would happen if I booked Multi room installation?

once sky turn up he will cancel on the spot if there are no walls to the out side a sky installer will not install if you want it installed find a local independent installer

Re: Sky MultiRoom - Any installers on here?
if you order multiroom and you only got a phone socket downstairs do sky engineers install phone extensions ? or is it down to the home owner ?

I believe you can now use a wireless phone extender but you would have to purchase it

Maybe ian_herts could advise I believe he worked as a Sky installer.

If you have an xbox 360 you could watch Sky on that in your converted loft space for free I think, and without the hassle of running extra cables.
just a thought

That's actually a good suggestion , you can use one of your two registered Sky Go devices and it costs you nothing.

Re: Sky MultiRoom - Any installers on here?
I have found a way to get a cable into the room I need, if I do the main bits would Sky Connect onto my cable if required or am I easier booking an independent to come sort it? Need someone as recent winds have "loosened" the arm with the LMB on so getting some picture breakup on a small breeze now!!!

Re: Sky MultiRoom - Any installers on here?
tricky will this be ur first multi room box as at the moment sky will offer you a free extra box which will be a skyHD not a skyHD+ box for £60 set-up or a Sky+HD 1TB for £49 + £60 setup cost.
this option will be cheaper and they will also look as ur dish for you
