Being installed later this month. I was not aware that you get multiroom and hd content free for 4 months so thats a great perk. My plan is to keep the multiroom for 4 months then give it back. And put freeview satalite tv in the bedroom as the sky installer would have had to install the cable to this tv. Would this work, or will I have to get some other equipment to get this to work? TIA
I'm not a fortune teller and don't know your finances but I think you will grow to like having Sky multiroom and will regret ditching it after the free period ends and going with Freeview. Only $25 a month for Multiroom, I don't know how much a decent Freeview decoder is and how many months you would get by equivalent money for Multiroom - but they do not compare with Sky's overall features IMO. You don't get HD Freeeview off satellite from what I have been told and I know you don't get HD off Sky multiroom, but there is no comparision personally with programming and features of the decoder - Sky wins hands down.

I've got to agree with Clevedon here. It is an excellent marketing ploy by Sky, because the family has got used to multi-room during the 4 month period and we are going to stump up the extra $25 to keep it.

We are also keeping multiroom. Mainly because if you have multiroom the HD ticket is free. So, in essence it is $10 more per month than what you would be paying.
My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

So it would cost $40 per month if the HD ticket is free? Am I correct? $15 hire for the decoder and $25 for the multiroom?
We dont watch that much tv in the bedroom, So Im not sure if it would be worth it personally.
Just got a call from SKY and they have delayed my installation until April. As Im out of the country for the month of April it has to be the 2nd of may as they have "run out" of my sky HDi units. Why the #$%^ are they still advertising something they can't deliver????????????????
Interesting. Called today to check( yet again) that my install next week is going ahead. Confirmed the date and what was ordered eg MySky,RF modulator... No mention made re shortage of decoders. Am taking a day off for install so hope I don't get messed around.
