Sky Multiroom in detail

What is Sky Multiroom?

Sky Multiroom lets you enjoy your Sky TV channels in another room, so different family members can watch the shows they love at the same time.

How does it work?

By connecting additional boxes to your Sky dish, you’re able to watch different Sky TV channels in different rooms at the same time.

What can I watch?

Your Sky Multiroom service mirrors your main subscription. You can watch channels that are part of your subscription package, and record them if you have a Sky+ or Sky+HD box. Those programmes you purchase individually, such as Sky Box Office movies, sports matches and events, are only able to be viewed on the box they were booked on and will be billed individually.

 

You will also need:

  • A Sky TV subscription
  • A Sky box
  • An additional box and Sky Multiroom subscription
    for each extra room you want to watch Sky TV in

Frequently asked questions More FAQs

  • What do I get with Sky Multiroom?

    Sky Multiroom lets you enjoy your Sky TV channels in another room, so different family members can watch the shows they love at the same time. You'll need an extra Sky box and a Sky Multiroom subscription (£10.25 a month extra) for every extra room you want to watch Sky TV in.

    > More about Sky Multiroom

  • Which channels can I watch with Sky Multiroom?

    Your Sky Multiroom service mirrors your main subscription. You can watch channels that are part of your subscription package, and record them if you have a Sky+ or Sky+HD box. Those programmes you purchase individually, such as Sky Box Office movies, sports matches and events, are only able to be viewed on the box they were booked on and will be billed individually.

  • How many Sky boxes can I use from one dish?

    Your satellite dish can support up to eight "feeds" and the total number of boxes depends on the type you're using. Each Sky and Sky HD Multiroom box requires a single feed/cable from the satellite. Sky+HD boxes each require two feeds/cables as they both allow you to watch one channel whilst recording another at the same time. Each box will need a separate Multiroom subscription.

  • How much is the Sky HD Multiroom box?

    Your first Sky HD Multiroom box is free when taken with a new Sky Multiroom subscription. Any additional Sky HD Multiroom box will cost £49.

  • Do I need an HD subscription for each box?

    No. Sky Entertainment Extra+ for your entertainment channels and one HD Pack for your Sports and Movies channels covers all the HD ready boxes in your home.
