Nope, not that simple

You need to sky to set up multiroom for you - if you have a box then there won't be a charge for that but there will be an install charge and it's an extra £10 per month.

You'll need another card to watch Sky programmes on both boxes (Sky multiroom) You also need at least a twin LNB on your dish to attach child's co ax cable to.

We have one dish, a twin LNB and two boxes. We only have (very limited

) free view but can watch different channels on each box. As SM says, it's another tenner a month if you want a 'ghostcard' that carries identical programming to your current card.
