Cable Forum - View Single Post - Multi Room Install Question - do you have to have them where the existing boxes are?

Dear All

We currently have multi-room (and BB) and are having additional boxes fitted to take us to three boxes (increasing to two Tivos and switching out the VHD). We are paying an install charge for Tivo and can have V+ moved to another room.

My question is, do we have to keep two boxes where they are already located and obviously they will have to install the third point as part of the install? Or could we only keep one box where it is now (in the living room) and have two boxes installed in completely different rooms? Would this be covered by the normal install cost?

We are thinking that it would be more useful to have one box in an upstairs bedroom and the other in the kitchen, as the current second box gets little use in its current location (however, in doing this would they leave the 2nd cable live where it currently is, as it is where the BB is also currently located and we wouldn't want the luminous Superhub anywhere else!).

Finally, once installed could we move V+ and Tivos round between the rooms (still not decided which room is best for each box) or would that cause problems with our installation?

Many thanks

MrB
