As one who has had multiroom for some time, a number of questions come to mind.

 

1. If I purchase the new box, will one of the decoders have to be returned or will I be able to have the new one running alongside one or the other, or alternatively in a third room (wifi only in all cases)?

 

A: You can keep the other if you pay another multiroom based on what I did with VTV.

 

2. If not, what time limit will be given before one of the two decoders will be cut off and must be returned ?

 

A: Probably at the most a week.

 

3. If more than two devices are set up, will there be an additional monthly charge over and above the present multiroom rate for operating a third box? Will each device have an operating charge over and above the normal subscription ?

 

A: Yes, this is an additional multiroom only apparently.

 

4. Given the portability of the new box, will Sky permit it being taken to a different location (such as a holiday home) or to someone's home to watch a specific programme. How would they police such prohibition should they wish to prevent this happening ?

 

A: Unsure if this will be allowed.

 

5. At present one is able to Set up recording from the web TV guide and specify which decoder this should occur. Will this still be possible if the household has a mix of old and new boxes ?

A :Should still be the case.

 

Whether Sky has given much thought to this, who knows, but it would be good to get some details in order to make some cost efficient planning.
