Sky + With One Cable - Sky going to offer this?

[mpreed]

I live in a flat with only one Sky connector, therefore making Sky+ use a bit of a pain.

The management company come down hard on people installing their own dishes (kinda with them on that for aesthetic reasons) but seem to be dragging their feet on provisioning Sky + (i.e. a second cable).

My latest mail exchange with the Management Company has them saying that Sky are close to offering Sky + over one cable, and they are waiting for this, rather than provisioning a second cable to flats. They say Sky will not be offering this for another six months at least.

Does anyone know anything about this?

I want to go back to them saying just get on and stick a second cable in, but would like some info on the Sky+ (and HD?) through a single cable.

Presumably (?!) this would need a replacement of the current cable with a unicable - would it also need a new design of Sky+ box to split the cable between the two tuners, or would it effectively need a 'destacker' at the 'client' end?

Anyone know anything about Sky's plans in this area (and timescales?)?

The only way to do it is with a stacker-destacker. These are already available but are not cheap, and there are differing reports as to how useful they are.

Ive not seen any reports of Sky offering such items anytime soon.

I think it's likely that your management company are shitting you on this. Why they would know this when the rest of the world is still in the dark I have no idea.

Sky HD doesn't need any special equipment over Sky+ other than the box itself of course.
