Thinking of getting Sky multiroom installed. Have one box at present. An extra standard box costs €59, with a Sky plus at €149 - both with free installation. In terms of subscription both will incur an extra €15 on top of what I am paying at present so plan to go for the Sky+ option.
Sky informs me that I will need both boxes connected to a phone line. This is to avail of the 'special offer' of paying 'just' €15 extra for the additional box. Note my current standard box, which I have had for 6 years, is not connected.
Despite what Sky are telling me my gut feel is that I only need to have the boxes hooked up to a phone point at the time of installation in order to complete the initial set-up. How does this sound to anyone out there who may have multiroom with Sky+?
If my assumption is wrong I will need to look at having access to a phone point at both TVs. I would want to avoid having cables running along skirting boards etc. A much more desirable option would be to use a product from the company 'One 4 All' which transmits the phone signal via the copper of the electrical wiring. You plug in a transmitter at the main phone point and a transmitter unit wherever you need the extra point. A second question then I have is has anyone used this product? If so did it work and are there any safety concerns on using this medium for transferring voice traffic around the house?
