A Sky+ box needs two. So presumably two Sky+ boxes need four. Or is it not that simple?

Ah right, Sky+. I was thinking he just had two regular boxes. But then I wasn't really paying attention because I don't really care.
Truth be told Jeff, I don't know what he's feckin bitching on about. If he wants Sky, then just pay the ****ing money and be done with it.

Buy a quab LNB off eBay along with a length of shotgun cable. Run the cable alongside the exisitng cable and branch off to the room you require the second box in. Connect your old sky+ box to that then phone sky and tell them you want multiroom. Total cost £30.

My only concern is that I read that it's very easy to knock the dish off signal when changing the LNB. I might have a look in the yellow pages to see if there is a guy to do it. I just resent paying so much extra money to sky when we already pay jebus knows how much every month.

It really isnt very easy at all.
If youve got ladders, a drill and a long enough drill bit to go through your walls youd be insane to pay anyone to do it.

isn't very easy, or isn't very hard?

It isn't very easy to knock the dish out of line. The LNB just connects to the end of the arm on the dish. There's no need to move the dish at all. Like Duzza says, you'd be daft to pay someone else to do it.

But we all know that's exactly what you like paying for!

Lads, you're right that it can be a straight forward job, but it is also incredibly easy to move the dish out of line. Especially if the LNB is a tight fit, as they often are. There are lots of different dish manufacturers and LNBs don't just handily clip on and off.

I would disagree strongly with that. They all clip off easily.

Well, I would strongly disagree with that.
They absolutely do not all clip on and off easily. Some will, but some will be an absolute **** to get on and off.
One of my best mates installs Sky and I've watched him countless times pre-assembling dishes in his garage ready for the next day. Depending on the particular make of dish that he's been given, I've often watched and laughed at him as he's had to literally hammer LNBs onto the arm. And I'm using 'literally' in the correct sense.
