Moving Home with Sky+
 

I'm moving home shortly. Currently have Sky+, but new house only has standard sky cabling although with two seperate Sky boxes in different rooms (presumably with multiroom) - each cabled directly back to the dish. The Sky cabling was installed when the house was built, so is all hidden away in walls. I know I will need to have new cabling installed to support Sky+ and am planning to go for 2 x Sky+ with multiroom, but I want to preserve the neatness of the current installation, i.e. no ugly cables running along walls. For this reason I am planning to use a local aerial/sat installer and forgoe the free (and usually very messy) Sky install.

My question is, will I be able to plug my Sky+ box into the standard cabling and use it as a single receiver until such time as I get around to upgrading the cabling?

Any help greatly appreciated.

hi as long as u plug it into input one it will work like a standard box.

also alot of us sky techs are not messy

Thanks Iain,

Thanks for the prompt info. I'm sure many of you Sky Techs are very good. Unfortunately, the couple I have had to-date have not taken a great deal of care over installation.

also some installers have changed to black cable when all the other cable is white its suprising how odd it looks. a neighbour went as far as painting it .
