I told am i would leave it then as that was quite an increase.

Am i right in believing that the standard HD box cant get on demand content?
Ifso its useless to me as i rarely watch anything live anymore.

On a side note does anybody know if the content on the TV from Sky app on PS3 / PS4 is in HD? Ifso this may be a better solution, instead of paying for multiroom.

One more question if anybody knows the answer, could i have the multiroom Sky HD box installed and then swap it myself to a Sky+, as i see they can be bought secondhand quite cheaply.

To watch skygo on a console you'd need sky go extra which is a additional £5p/m, when i used my sisters it looked hd on my ps3.
You'd need sky+ enabled on any box you want to record on you'd have to phone Sky about it i think there may be a additional fee, it is automatically enabled and included on your main SKY+HD box.
The SKYHD multiroom box does not have on demand or catch up features.

Yes you can replace it yourself at anytime , just ensure the installer runs double cabling so you have two inputs by telling him you plan to replace it.

The standard Sky+HD boxes can be picked up pretty cheaply on eBay or at places like cash converters.

Thanks for the info mate.



Id been looking at the boxes on ebay and thats what made me think of just buying one of them and then swapping it myself.

Good point about the double cable hadnt thought of that. Is the installer likely to install the double cable if he is only installing a standard hd box or would he more likely be a jobsworth about it?
