Cards and cards and cards…
Media Center PC. On Thursday they sent us two new viewing cards. I knew we’d need a new one but I didn’t expect two – I just figured that the change in our subscription meant the old one needed changing. Except on Friday they sent us another one. So now we have four, our old one and the three new ones.
This could lead to an interesting possibility since we actually have a spare Sky box. So we’ll have three Sky boxes (two normal and one Sky+) and three new cards. That’s a total of four signals required – exactly the amount that a single minidish can handle. Unfortunately after looking around the Sky site I found out that you need a seperate multiroom subscription for each additional box.
So why did they send us three new cards?

< ![CDATA[Its because they don't have a clue what they are doing. I spent nearly 4 hours on the phone speaking to loads of different people about getting a "second-hand contract" for a spare mini box so we could set up a custom channel package for just that box, and every single person I spoke to told us something different.
Not only that, but after finally getting someone to understand what it was we want, which isn't difficult, we were told you can't have multiple accounts in the same house, you must have multiroom for that - despite the fact that we already have two seperate accounts in use...
Then they go on and on about us needing it connected to a phone line - if you have multi room, there are special terms and conditions which say that for the entire duration of you having multiroom activated, every single digibox you have must be connected to a operational phone line, even if you have left your initial minimum term.
If you don't, you don't get a discount and you have to pay the full price for your package for each box you have in use.]]>
