No, by the end of 2012, all homes will only be able to receive digital television. Sky Multiroom offers you a low-cost way to continue enjoying a choice of programmes throughout your home.
You can choose different Parental Control settings for each Sky box in your house, so you know that your kids are enjoying safe, appropriate content even while you're watching something in another room. Everyone can enjoy peace and quiet to watch their favourite programmes and you decide which content is allowed using the Viewing Card PIN for each box.
Not at all, with Sky Multiroom, all boxes are independent of each other so your viewing is never interrupted.
Your Sky subscriptions determine which channels you can view - this is not limited by your Sky Multiroom package. You might have a Sky+HD box and subscription for your living room, for example, but a regular Sky Digital subscription for your bedroom. You would be able to watch standard Sky channels in both rooms, and in the living room you would also be able to watch High Definition channels. Sky Box Office movies and events can only be viewed on the set top box they were booked on.
Our set top boxes now come with the Auto Standby which means that if the digibox remains inactive for more than four hours between the hours of 3.30am and 11pm (or two hours between 11pm and 3.30am), a warning will appear on your TV screen, "Your digibox is about to go into standby." If you are watching TV, press back up to continue viewing. If you do not respond (because you are not watching TV) the box will automatically go into Standby mode. Your Sky Multiroom connection allows you to choose different settings for each of your Sky boxes - you may wish to have this feature deactivated in the bedroom, for example.
