It would be £40 to have the box installed, including any new cabling required.

It would also be £49.95 to have the HD activated.

It would then be an extra £6.50 per month (price after April 1).

It's hardly a rip-off.

£40 to have extra cabling installed is very reasonable.

You don't have to activate the HD so don't have to pay the £49.95 HD activation charge.

£6.50 to watch all of your existing channels in a different room is reasonable (when compared to Sky's multiroom charge).

Your choice. If you consider it too expensive then don't have it.

A search of this forum will find a way of extending from your existing box to another TV without the additional monthly charge but it does not allow you the facility to watch diferent programs at the same time.

If you already have an HD-activated box, the second and subsequent boxes are £6.50 per month.
