Sky dual box question

[paul.p911]

Hi I wonder if someone can help me with this question i live in the UK and my son lives in Germany,If i order a sky package that includes a second box which sky offer could my son in germany use the other box and we then share costs would he still get to see the sky packeag? as the info is on the card is it not?I think u understand what im saying im sorry if its not very clear,but you get the gist.

No...a multiroom subscription needs to be connected to the telephone line of the account holder constantly.

The 2nd box dials out at regular intervals to check its still at the account holders address.

If it isnt you will receive a bill for a full sub price...if its in Germany you are likely to be in further trouble.

Thankyou for your reply but,my second room where i would use a secon box is upstairs in my bedroom there ias no telephone line in there anyway for a second box to ring out on,i thought phone lines were only meant to be connected for the first 12 months is that true?
I apprecialte you help and advice i value all advice,thankyou

Not on a multiroom subscription....they need to be connected for as long as the reduced sub is in place...the 12 months you refer to is the original box.

If you have a multiroom box fitted by Sky they will insist on having it connected to the phone line....and may even charge you for running an extention cable.

So does anyone see a way of getting round this problem ?

I know it didnt work about 6 months ago, but not sure if anything has changed since then.

And regarding the main question this thread is about, why not set up a second box in your current house but not connect it to a tv, and buy a slingbox and get him to watch and control the skybox via software?

Both me and my sister use multiroom subscriptions off my dads account at our homes ,and have done so for years . no phone line In at all . I get full package in hd for a tenner ( when I remember to pay him ) . I am sure its right that they dial back but ours don't :-). If we ever got caught out u get a letter warning first so we would all rotate our box s for a month ( if that did ever happen ) let then dial back at his then await the next letter . I justify it because we don't watch much tv but have paid hundreds in the past to sky + ya gotta try your luck sometimes ...

[sgtbarton]

Worst case scenario , they start charging full wack ( cannot prove anything to back date ) but so what , if u wanted sky anyway u would be paying . Would just cancel one of his other multi rooms n give him mine .

Is it advisable for people to be bragging about fraud on an open forum?

[sgtbarton]

Don't really care tbh ( i could be talking shit ) op asked at the end of the day. A lot worse going on in the world and if this is the worse thing I ever do then send me to prison for gods sake. #somepeople

I think you've missed the point. I am not saying you should go to prison. I didn't write the law. I am just questioning the intelligence of talking about your illegal activities on a forum that is most probably monitored by Sky.

[sgtbarton]

Like I said I don't care :-)

I know exactly what I am writing, no need to question my intelligence .

In fact you should really be praising it for having all areas covered with regards to the subject and then thanking me for sharing it lmfao .
