You can do this by performing a Sky+ Rebuild within the installer menu. Sky also add eSata/USB connectors for ‘future use’ it is the same reason they have an LAN connection so that one day it can be connected to the internet.

Yeah sky is expensive compared other packages but the selection is their to justify the cost. The reason for £10 extra for the Multiroom HD subscription is because their is 4 times as much data being passed through the satellite, Sky pays for every bit sent through the sat system and subsequently has to recoup the cost.

With regards to remote record, you can set it up to record to as many as 7 boxes, so you can hook up your Multiroom to this.

Why don’t sky make a pci card:

1. Because they have to put a telephone receiver and pickup in it (for interactive features)

2. They need to have the viewing card slot into it.

3. They need to have a special storage space, users cannot be guaranteed to have the minimum space required.

4. Why the hell would sky add another product to their package when 9/10 people watch television programmes on their TELEVISION.

ps, with regards to the ‘Microsoft’ and ‘sexy’ comment, those two words can never be seen in a sentence together without the words ‘is not’ placed between them.

There’s also Sky Italia, Sky in Brazil, and whatever other services are out there (which doubtless charge a fortune too).
