What happens with the second sky box when you remove it from the common phone line. How often do the 2 boxes need to talk together.

I ask this because I would like to try setting up my dream box and want to know if I can use the multiroom card to practise on.

I understand there must be some restraints to stop people using multiroom cards at another address but want to know how long you get before you have problems.

The boxes in multiroom don't talk to each other, they talk to high command, I think about once a month, but I may be corrected on that. If you are just experimenting with the Dreambox then why not go for it. I think Sky will inform you asking why the second box is not connected to the phone line before they do anything.

I suppose on a warning note if you are doing anything outside the parameters of your Sky contract then you have to expect a little inconvenience.
