been thinking of getting a sky box installed in my room additional to the one in the lounge so i can watch what i want without my rents changing the channel 
had a butchers on the sky website and it reckons its £10 per month to replicate the package we already got downstairs.
anyone got this with them? any pros or cons to be aware of?
and do they have to install another dish or will they do what im assuming and use a dual LNB on the dish thats already there?
oh yeah and im gonna ditch my 14" and buy something like a 26" screen cos it would be a shame to waste sky on a bloody crappy little portable telly

does exactly what it says on the tin mate. £10 and that's it.
They won't install a second dish.
I'm not sure if there is any degredation in picture quality, probably very minimal if any at all.

yeah we've had it done aswell.
When we got sky+ installed we had the old box moved into the second lounge with multi room on that. £10 a month extra, they just run a second wire from the normal dish, and pic quality is just the same as before.

All they do is replace the LNB on the dish with a 4 way LNB; i.e. you can have up to 4 boxes connected to the dish.
No difference in picture quality at all.
And yes £10 extra/month for each additional box, will have the exact same package as the first one.

if it is a 4 way LNB then if you got skyplus boxes you could hook 2 up to each box, that way you can watch something different on both boxes and also record something different on both boxes too.
