Last year Sky were doing an offer of a Sky+ box for £49 with free installation if you took or had multiroom. I took advantage of this offer and despatched my old standard digibox to the loft as a reserve in case of problems with one of the Sky+ boxes which couldn't be fixed for several days.

As a new customer you can get Sky+ for £89 and take advantage of their current offer of a second Sky+ box for £89 with free fitting of both for taking multiroom.

Sky are now fitting octo LNB's in some installations. These have eight connections and you can connect any combination of boxes noting that Sky+ boxes and Sky HD boxes require two connections each with a standard digibox requiring one connection. If you have an octo LNB with two Sky+ boxes connected on multiroom you will have four spare connections. You can put up to four standard digiboxes on these spare connections at no additional monthly charge if you just have them as Freesat boxes or £10 per month extra for each with a mirror subscription of your main boxes. Freesat boxes do not require connection to the phone line.
So you reckon if I just give Sky a ring they'll do me 2 Sky+ boxes for £89 each if I subscribe to multiroom? That'd be cool. Shame I'd miss out on the £50 cashback through doing it online via quidco.

Is there a better Sky website? Where are offers for existing customers such as the second Sky+ box for £89 you mentioned?

You can get your first Sky+ box from wherever you want and then take advantage of the Sky offer to get a second Sky+ box for £89 with free install. Offer details at http://existing.sky.com/offers.asp
